I liked the one comparing the shift feel to a big rubber band with knots in it. The new one has more power, a longer wheelbase and some short crush zones front and rear, unlike the original which had none. If this one doesn't sell, Smart is finished. They have never made a profit and DC is fed up. Why would anyone pay 16 grand for this car? RLE ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
