Super7 Turbocharged April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 (edited) i feel the aesthetics of the c-pillar is abit doubtful........ same for the old Picnic and previous Kia Karen.............. juz does seem right.... but this may appeals to others.....

Accenture Neutral Newbie April 3, 2003 Author Share April 3, 2003 Maybe Merc should do the opposite of Toyota...Have another brand that markets their A-class types... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDIzen Neutral Newbie April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 Exactly! like Honda and Acura, Mazda and Amati, Toyota and Lexus! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 Think already got budget benz - the Smart. Next Smart based on Colt platform so looks like they r finally heading mainstream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seansene 1st Gear April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 (edited) Yah, that reverse-rake C-pillar is truly 1950's... Edited April 3, 2003 by Seansene Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accenture Neutral Newbie April 3, 2003 Author Share April 3, 2003 I think if they bring it in to sing it will be over priced that is why they dont bring it in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya Supersonic April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 Saw quite a few oddball Smarts in Europe. The car is so tiny that i saw on a few occasions, Smarts can squeeze in between 2 parked cars in a parallel parking lot!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seansene 1st Gear April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 There's one (the regular Smart, not the Roadster) in a PI at Ubi, so I presume it's for sale, just a matter of price... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seansene 1st Gear April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 (edited) "singaporeans got real wierd taste" Correction:Singaporeans got real JAP taste. The moment any oddball conti car (read - non-Merc/BMW) appears, the usual questions of fuel economy, maintenance, and yes, resale value pop up faster than you can say "depreciation" Edited April 3, 2003 by Seansene Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya Supersonic April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 U r bang on target! I think the buying public is generally ignorant of conti cars. Got a collegue who bought a Cefiro without even a test drive becoz he says "if many ppl buy muz be good car what, so what for test drive?". Can tell me somemore why so silly buy Conti car and not Camry ("ppl think u drive Lexus n good resale value mah..." ) Sigh.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seansene 1st Gear April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 My reply to that: Oh wow. So I guess it's true, image counts more than whether a product is good... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavvy Clutched April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 same as you buy branded names instead of whether it is useful to you or not... waste money... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
