wow, I love those wheels... I wish they used more styling cues from the Aero X, especially with the front end...

The interior looks kind of jaguar-ish. I love it.

The exterior looks puke-taculer.

Over the last 5 months, Ive seen at least 6 to 7 different SMART cars running around. A few here in Beaverton, some on Interstate5, and quite a few in the Pearl District. I saw two at the EOS block party that VW threw in the Pearl District(Portland, OR.), a black one and a silver one. I saw one driving around an Albertsons parking lot in Tigard.

Are they already selling the SMART cars here in the US?

wierd...

It reminds me of Ford's IOSIS X

...

It's nice that everything looks the same these days.

Fiat's Brazilian division, Fiat Automoveis, has prepped this concept car for the Sao Paulo Auto Show. The Fiat Concept Coupe (FCC) Adventure is a crossover, off-road coupe, that combines rugged styling with a swept-back, insanely raked windshield for a sportscar-on-'roids look.

The FCC Adventure concept uses the 167-hp 2.4-liter five-cylinder engine from the Fiat Stilo Abarth. It rides on 18-inch rims clad in Pirelli PZeros with a four-wheel independent suspension and adjustable shocks. The unique paintjob uses a color-changing paint that ranges from yellow to red, while inside the cabin the FCC gets equipped with competition-themed five-point racing harnesses.

Although the concept looks ready to storm the dunes, it's strictly front-wheel-drive and rides on road tires. Interesting design, but even in concept form it still lacks the theoretical go for all that show.

That bulge looks good. Now add this greenhouse:

Ask and you shall receive: Greenest PM.

And I hate Mulroney and what his government was, but no matter. A fact is a fact, regardless of how unpalatable. And the CBC aren't renown for their pro-Conservative slant.

The Liberals had more time and more money -- their coffers were overflowing with cash -- and did less than Mulroney. 'tis a shame! No, a disgrace!

Hey thanks alot!!!

As for why the Conservatives would do such a thing, historically the Conservatives have been "greener" than the other parties.

Off topic - can you show me how Conservatives have been historically "greener" then their liberal counterparts? ... Or, point me in the right direction towards resrouces that would prove this true?

From Leftlanenews.com:

General Motors vice chairman Bob Lutz said the U.S. government should gradually increase taxation on gasoline to force consumers into smaller, more efficient cars. "I'd say the best thing the (U.S.) government can do is to raise the gas tax by 10 or 15 cents a year until it reaches European levels," Mr. Lutz told the Wall Street Journal at the Paris Motor Show.

"In Europe people buy $30,000 Golfs," Lutz said. "People are willing to pay lots of money for extremely well equipped, fuel-efficient cars." Lutz said higher gas prices would help accelerate the transition to alternative fuels and cleaner forms of propulsion.

Lutz also says he thinks Americans have learned their lesson about buying fuel-thirsty vehicles, even if gas prices fall well below $2.00 later this year. "Three months from now if gas is $1.60 a gallon, people are not going to go rushing out to buy 400 horsepower SUVs," he said. "People now have understood the concept of volatility. People will hedge their bets."
