Per the 1948 Olds. I believe they manufactured the old 1942-style car w/updated grille and introduced the Futuramic style later that year. Cadillac was the other car GM updated in 1948 though the Series 75 still used the old 1947-style car through 1949.

Who remembers the TV show and charcter that drove this car?
2001 BMW 330ci/E46, 2008 BMW 335i conv/E93
This would have been an earlier show... They went to the quad headlight model, later...
One of my favorite shows from high school..
The early shows had some great car chases, but those got toned down in later years... something about violence on television.. :surprise:

Man oh man, Consumer Reports gave it a really bad write up.
Gee, and to think a person would be dumb enough to buy a brand new 2007 Mini getting 40 mpg for the same money.
Not even close, the most expensive Smart fortwo Cabrio costs $17K, about the same as a low-end Mini.

Surprisingly I see one here around Vancouver with local plates.

They do have a Smart Roadster. I sat in one at an Auto Show, it was the highly tuned model, too.
They're absolutely tiny, though. Makes my Miata seem full-sized.
Pic for kicks:
I think Smart needs some incentives to be able to compete here. Perhaps let them ride in HOV lanes, or offer discounted parking. They need help to sell in any significant numbers. If not, they'll just be a novelty car and fizzle out.

Yep.

Yep, the Lotus "bread van" on the right...Renault-powered (gulp).
FUN car to drive but if you're over 5ft 8inches and you have more than a size 8 shoe, don't even bother trying to get into one. The Fire Dept would have to be called to extricate you.

It's not one of those Argentinian Alfas, is it ?
And yet I can drive a proper Mini (owned several), I have driven loads of small Fiats, although never a 500 which is just too little, and I've even been in Reliant 3wheelers, without any trouble - I think it's just the height off the ground really that causes the trouble, and the fact that really low cars have a letterbox instead of a door.
More here.

Either that, or the TT and the Beetle had a baby.. :surprise:

Whatever it is, I hope they spare us.
Not to worry Shifty, it's the newest version of the Daihatsu Copen. Like most Kei cars it'll never be seen on our shores.
It looks like a half scale Audi TT that somebody left in the microwave. :sick:

In fairness, I think we only get the fully equipped top of the range model - Daihatsu mainly sell small 4x4's and minicars like the Sirion here.
I sat in one when they were first shown at our motor show a few years ago, and actually it is quite a cute little car, but with the emphasis on little - 700cc, and tiny. Also it is a bit too cute - at the risk of sounding sexist, I don't think I've ever seen one being driven by a bloke.
