it's a 5 speed sequential manual box, there is a clutch, not a torque converter, i'd love to skip gears, did 2-5 and 3-5 changes in my old cars (justy and metro, both 3 cylinders as well). sometimes i wish the smart had a regular manual, but i'm older and more lazy and live with this one, LOL.
thats exactly what i wanted at first till i compared an all black smart with a black one with the silver cell! the silver cell gives it a charm and it makes it look more exciting! you should see for yourself! red interior also looks really nice with black exterior!!
I would disagree.... more often, the use of colorful euphemisms, or profanity, as some refer to it, is a sign of passionate emphasis meant to assail prudery and convention.
The fucking shitbags at Chysler/Daimler should have been importing this car 5 years ago! But they were to busy selling Hemi V-8's that get 10mpg! Fucking assholes!

People are in business TO MAKE MONEY. 5 years ago, nobody would buy this turd of a car. C/D made a shitload of money selling V8s.
I guess Chrysler made a poor decision by choosing to make profit so their employees will still have a job.
But what do they know, they should've listened to you.
DETROIT (Reuters) - U.S. auto sales tumbled in May as consumers spurned pickup trucks and SUVs in the face of record gasoline prices, driving General Motors Corp, Ford Motor Co and Chrysler LLC to double-digit declines.
You're comparing a period of 4 years to one of today.
Times change dipshit. American car companies aren't the only one taking a hit. Toyota, Honda and even european garbage like BMW are taking double digit declines.
We're not all stupid. The great majority of us wear seatbelts. For me, it's second nature, and I'm an American. So please avoid sweeping generalizations like that in the future if you don't mind.
It was the dashboard that was changed due to safety for Americans. It no longer features an S- Shape. Second... the gear box is now 5 Speed instead of the OLD 6 speed
@bostondog55: You moron. Don't like the Smart? Then why watch the video? Some people.....

I think this one is a 5spd auto box and the previous CDI one is the 6 speed sequential.

Why can't people just add a comment without cussing and swearing? Just shows your ignorance.
