I completely agree with killing the smart car. I'm more a fan of electric cars. But I have something against hatchback cars. I just don't like the way hatchbacks look. Also, Toyota needs to disappear.

Cars in general shouldn't be. They exist only for people who are silly enough to live in suburbs and rural areas. Motorists are wusses who have forgotten what their legs are for.

Or they are people who need to move large amounts of stuff a long distance in an acceptable amount of time. Like say packages or groceries.

You know, I was going to write a bit of a defence of the Smart Car.

And then I remembered I could just trump it straight out of the voting by showing off the Smart Crossblade.

That is not a car, that is a freakin' go-kart.
A road-legal go kart.

That thing might be kinda cool. If it can go at least 60 (MPH, 100 Kilometers per hour for the rest of the world).

Ya know, I'm fine with just about any car as long as it has good mileage and not bulky. The cars that shouldn't be made are the ones equipped with all the useless addons such as a DVD player or a self-parking system. Sure it's cool technology wise, but seriously, like a good laptop all those neat features are gonna give out sooner or later just from mechanical stress and shaking.

Cars that move slowly.

Cars with square wheels.

Cars with magical powers.

KITT.

I do not have much knowledge of cars.

All cars that try to be something they aren't. Seriously, annoys the hell out of me "all new SPORTS CAR" ... not that's just a little bubble car, and a fairly ugly one, you put crazy lines on it and warp the body and then add a spoiler, that does not make it a sports car, all it does is make sports cars less awesome.

The new Land Rover Discovery.

The BMW X5.

Seriously, They're too expensive and fragile to be used as off-road utility vehicles, and far too pansy ass. Stupid chelsea tractors, Wheeling around smothering mothers who wont let their little bastards children walk anywhere, For fear of being stolen by demons.

Which means bugs can splatter off your face at 60mph too...

Which is why you wear shades. Or a helmet. Either way, it's useless unless it can go highway speeds.

"Smart claims a 0-60mph time of 17 seconds while the top speed is electronically limited to 85mph."

It's a 70bhp engine on a 740kg car. Not too shabby.

It is too shabby, but I still want to drive one at least once.

Road-legal? You've got to be kidding me? It doesn't even have proper doors!

The G-Wiz.
Why? I watch too much Top Gear and I hate it because they have brain-washed me.
Plus it's slow and wouldn't survive any major incident faster with anything going faster then 30mph.
The G-Wiz couldn't survive me looking at it funny

The car that should be skipped is any and all electric cars, why waste the time when natural gas and hydrogen are the way to go.
I don't see the problem with electric cars. Tesla is releasing a sedan in 2012 at $50,000 a piece (yes a little pricey but from the roadster price of $100000, its a steal) called the model s, can get around 300 miles on a single charge, 0-60 in 5.6 sec, and fully charges in 3.5 hours from a wall socket. Natural gas can be an alternative fuel vehicle, but what's the point, natural gas is STILL a widely sought after nonrenewable resource. Hydrogen is a fairly hopeful alternative to gasoline but at the current time, over three years of owning a vehicle, it costs about 5000 more dollars to run a hydrogen car than it is a regular gasoline vehicle.

Otherwise, i believe that anything on 25 inch mirror rims might be a tiiiiny bit much.

Hehe, you're picking an argument with the wrong person, so I'll just leave you with Hydrogen=plentiful, Natural Gas=plentiful, battery packs=expensive, prone to problems, shortage of materials and other many nice features. Also the charging process takes about 12 hours at the least to get a decent charge from a 120 Volt circuit. Tesla is just pulling numbers from the air again like they always do.

The only thing I want to say in this argument is that Tesla can work off of a 240 volt circuit (and 480 volt circuit, if you feel like wiring that in) which would charge quicker.

The Bugatti Veyron.

It would be fun as hell to drive, but coming in at $5,000,000 apiece to build, it's a goddamn travesty. Engineering experiments are pricey.
But, but, but, its awesome

Expensive awesome yes, but still awesome.
