Strange. Smart Forfour was eccelent looking car, for very reasonable price. In fact I think it's bound to be a classic one day. I just think they missed their market - it should've been promoted it as black metallic young men's sporty hatchback and not that "look you can have chasis and every pannel in different colour lady" malarky. It's light, it's looking sportier than most hot hatchbacks, all it needed was better choice of engines. Last Honda Civic Type -R is a fine example, if you can make men want that grammamobile looking thing, it shouldn't be a problem to mould ForFour into really smart looking sporty hatch.
