...To the beige-mobile, chums!
Friday, February 20
UNTIL CARS RUN ON BURRITOS, I'll be searching for the most fuel efficient, easy to park, lowest emissions car on the market before I buy. Kate and I saw this in London. They are introducing a 4-person model that is supposed to look like an SUV (ugh!) in 2006. I'm in love with the two-seater! smart.com - fortwo coupé
UPDATE: The Boston Globe Automotive section on Saturday, Februay 21 has an article about small cars in the US. The smart forfour is featured. Why read mass media? Just talk to me and I'll give you the scoop on interesting things before they actually get co-opted.
ANOTHER UPDATE: The turbodiesel-engined version of this car gets almost 70 mpg average fuel economy. That's all on internal combustion! No hybrid here! How much better could it be if there was an electric assist with regenerative braking and an advanced battery pack! COULD YOU IMAGINE? We're getting closer to the ultimate automobile here. It's exciting.

If you don't have anything nice to say, say it loud.
