Most people, given the choice between the two, and all other things being equal, would probably go for a 500e on looks. Not trying to be offensive, but Daimler was after funky/weird, and distinctive, not cute and distinctive. They were successful. The 500 is an old favorite and Fiat is just riding that train. I wonder if the 500e rides smoother? Smart is pretty harsh, well the ICE version is anyway. The Smart interior is definitely utilitarian, the Fiat is again after a note of style. All that "extra" costs more. It is not a bad business decision, many people like style. -- Put this question to yourself: should I use everyone else to attain happiness, or should I help others gain happiness? *Dalai Lama * Tell me what it is you plan to do With your one wild and precious life?
