MCC Smart Roadster

Yes! It's a Smart! :eek: :D

doesnt look too shabby me thinks! especially for a measly £10k :D

Yes! I recently saw some pictures of it in Automobile magazine. Very interesting. I like the Smart, but this is definitely more sophisticated looking.

Much, much better to drive, too, than the Smart, but lets face it that wouldnt be too hard :)

The smart car is supposed to be THE car to have if you are gay, according to Top Gear, with the SL600 at 4th.

I missed that show... what was the full "gay list"?

A gay list? Now that's pretty funny.

I wonder if the new VW Beetle is in that list?
One thing about gays, if they live together, there is a lot of money in the bank. So I'm sure the list has a lot of high end cars.

i have to agree... the (new!) beetle does strike me as quite a feminine car (thats the other way of putting it!).... and another car which i find quite girly is the Audi TT. I was attacked by all members of the Audi forums for stating this! what do u guys think? is the TT's styling masculine, feminine, or none in particular?

slightly feminine, but the racing one, in Autocar looks nice.

Of course, it is no surprise about the TT since it shares everything with the new Beetle platform. It is sort of girly looking, but I would take the TT any day over the Beetle.
The Boxster is another girly type of car. And the same goes for the Z3. Now the more chisled Z4 is more aggressive and masculine looking. At least from the pictures. I haven't seen one up close and personal yet. I can only appreciate a car's looks when I can be right up to it looking at it from every angle.

The sport Z3 is manly, the 1.8 is a little. the Boxster does look a bit girly though, it was in Legally Blonde.

Is the sport Z3 the one with the hardtop / hatchback? I've only seen three of those in my travels.

But I would agree if that's the one, that it looks a bit better. It sort of reminds me of those MG's with the same type of hardtop.

The hardtop is an optional extra. the front is different, and there is a bigger, more powerful engine.

The current Smart is funny too. The design is cool, but the car is maybe a little bit too tiny...
Very practical in big towns. Not on the Highway !

I'll start by saying, there is no such thing as a fruity/girly Porsche. There just isn't.

I saw the roadster in the R&T section on the Paris show, looks pretty fun to drive, but only has 82bhp...

What grabbed my eye was the Eco Speedster... It's a closed cockpit Opel Speedster, with 112bhp 1.3 liter turbodiesel engine! It can do 155mph, and get's nearly 100 miles per gallon! That works out about 1 liter/45km :eek:

do you have pics?

82hp but this Smart will be very light (not more than 900 kg). The max speed is about 180kmh (115 mph). And this car will be perfect for driving on little raods.

I just do not like the look very much.

I always have pics ;)

It's basicly a Lotus Elise, but a bit cheaper. Opel being owned by GM, GM owning Lotus, the Speedster is made using the same epoxy bonded aluminum section construction.

The regular Opel Speedster is a roadster design, using the 2.2 liter Ecotec 4 cylinder, which makes a little more power than the Rover series 4 cylinders.

mmmh.... I prefer the Elise or even the Smart Roadster.

the smart is nice but the coupe is nicer :D

It's also German, meaning it's like a reliable Elise ;)

the back of the smart coupe reminds me at te back of the bmw z3 coupe

Will the Coupé and Roadster be made in France too ? or not ?

Whats the bet I was the first one to see this car in the flesh?:p


Last year I saw this car in Christchurch, NZ being tested with all taht black disguise they put on it- but the shape was obvious that it was the Smart Roadster:D


btw- WHERES THAT LIST OF THE GAY PEOPLES CARS :D

I gotta see that:finger:
