I agree it has alot Lotus in it, but the Elise is different and much more sporty and "raw" IMO
And see the rims, only 3 bolts :confused:

Sad I did not get more pics of it

I like the front of it, but I dislike the back window and the stock 3 spoked rims, my only complaints.

Agree Alex,

when I saw it from front I was like "wooohooo", then the rear and rear/side profile was just ugly.
Here in Oslo there is alot of the "ordinary" Smart's, I have always believed they was EL-powered, but today a friend told me about the MB ownership, he is cabdriver and totally MB freak ^_^

Yesterday I saw a ugly bodytuning, take a look here ^_^

Saw one of these Smart Roadsters today in a Merc dealership, funny little things. Saw them when they were presented at the UK motorshow, but it looked a bit different when i saw it on the roads :).

I actually quite like it, even with the retro styling etc :D, but it could have done with a better paintjob, not that yellow :?
