CL TESTS THE SMART CAR: Not as smart or light as I was hoping it’d be.

Last Friday afternoon, I was one of the 100-plus people who test-drove the much hyped Smart car, a sub-sub-sub compact made in France that, once it hits the U.S. market in 2008, promises to revolutionize the way Americans are killed in collisions with SUVs.
Though I was impressed with how the Smart drove, I was rather disappointed with its intellect. It’s a Smart and it’s French, so I figured it’d enjoy chatting with me about smart French stuff. You know, like Saint-Exupéry, Debussy, or at the very least, this year’s Beaujolais. Au contraire. Smart refused to say a word to me. Even their cars are snobs.
