The car juxtaposed with the dumpster is called a Smart car (www.smart.com) and built by the Daimler/Chrysler group. I think they have a 600cc Mercedes-Benz engine. The Swiss watch company Swatch did release a limited edition with their logos on. The other car is a Mercedes A140 or A160, and despite what someone said about it originally failing the so-called 'elk avoidance test', it has since been re-engineered to pass and a give much better ride. Incidentally, I believe heck of a lot of SUV's fail the elk test :-) HTH Chris
