Default Fifth Gear - '04.11.01

I liked the feature they did with the Smart and Ferrari 575M. To flesh it out a bit more Tiff/Vicky did crash tests with the Smart against another small car, a bigger car and a concrete barrier.

While Plato(?) reviews the Ferrari as a car on the road and a car for the track.

I still want a Smart car cause I'd be the only 1 or about under a dozen of people with one. I could go to work in under a liter of fuel and go back home using a little under a liter. The seating speace is enough for me as a daily car and parking wouldnt be such a fuss.

I think that's going to happen on Top Gear instead of 5th gear...we'll just have to wait and see though lol.
