Please post your opinion on this production vehicle.

I have a black and silver Passion CDi named Bobby.

I buy the occasional expensive gifts for him including a alloy Brabus gear knob and wider Pulse alloys.

I may consider a set of Brembo cross drilled discs for him but that will have to wait a while as he is still very new and changing new discs for the sake of it is silly.

the new trannies are 5 speeds that have shift times half of the 6 speed box. i never drove one, but i seen a few in vegas. i put a deposit down on one the first day they were offered in america, hopefully i'll get it in a few weeks!

i've been driving 3 cylinder cars for 19 years, a subaru justy and a chevy metro, the new smart will have more power than both and be a bit lighter, my subaru could lite the tires when revved.

LOL, MB has already oversold their allotment for the USA, what they estimated for sales, and I'm at the top of the list, i put my deposit down the first day they were available. and they got a jap engine!
