Americans are idiots... Let me count the ways...
This article, unwittingly, makes the case for every non-American who thinks Americans are dimwitted idiots who simply have no clue. A few things about the Smart:
1. It's an extremely well built car.
2. It gets extremely good mileage in the city (something which is rarely considered in American mileage ratings). Its weight is one of the main benefits here: driving in the city implies a lot of speed changes, and the smaller weight means less energy required to accelerate or decelerate.
3. It's a runaway best seller in Canada, which has distances which even Americans can't imagine. Driving from Montreal to Toronto (The two closest large cities) takes between 6 and 7 hrs depending on how far above the speed limit you go.
Stop thinking of Europeans as not liking their cars. If you believe that, you haven't met any Europeans.
What a bunch of fools...
