:: Smart & micro ::

While I don't usually pay all that much attention to news of cars anymore, a friend forwarded me this link to a Wired story about a new kind of car coming out of a new kind of car company.

The company is a spin-off of Mercedes and the car, called the ForTwo, is...well..cute. And smart. And micro. No, not as in techno-wired. Micro as in tiny.

To whit: "The Fortwo can park practically anywhere, even sideways in a compact garage spot" the article notes.

Oh..and it's interesting to note that CNN doesn't think that the ForTwo will take off in North America.
