Not to mention it's made by Mercedes Benz, which probably means it will break down every 10,000 miles and cost a fortune to fix. They are NOT the car company they once were. Mercedes has been living off their laurels for some time now.
Edited to say: I mean Mercedes Benz has been living off their PAST laurels! What a dope. |

cars are just getting shorter and shorter aren't they? i thought the yaris was short...
look it up on youtube they have a crash test comparison for these cars... they drive it at like 80mph straight to a wall... the frame survived, but i dont think the passengers will. |

I actually saw two of those little cars in different parking lots in Ottawa in September. Cute, but you could only bring groceries home in them if you don't have a passenger.
