French?
I live in France. I would love to have an electrified SmartCar & then charge it from solar panels. Cool! I'd settle for a little electric Renault, though, cause folks around these parts loves to buy and drive their own national manufacturers. They're funny that way. SmartCar is a bit - German - if you know what I mean.
Doesn't matter what you drive though - it's just plain pricey to drive anything with a motor. Cause our gas prices are at $8/gallon. That's right, dearies. I wouldn't even mind the Hawaiian grooviness of Steve's model, though it's not very French either. A bit - how you say - 'loud', 'feminine' and 'American', all at the same time.
Anyhow, just saying, Steve's car doesn't look particularly 'French' to me, but I would drive it around in France any day of the week, in spite of its Germanity. And I would never, ever hit it with anything harder than a buffer cloth.
