If so, I'm sorry to have offended your personal tastes in cars. I myself try to keep an open mind regarding peoples tastes in cars even if they don't match my own. Is the car fine for small city driving? I would probably say yeah, it would be fine in some small town in italy where it matches the size of the streets and other cars.

I have driven this vehicle myself and its a pretty cool little car, but I wouldn't feel safe drivng one on the streets of California.
No, I just took this as you were trying to imply that Smart was hiding something:

Yeah, I read too much into it, sorry 'bout that. But yes, I intend to buy one.
