Smart hauls tiny pickup truck onto the Detroit Auto Show floor

dumb at every level

My 1962 Austin Healey Sprite has more cargo area LOL ... what a sad excuse for a "truck". Eco-terrorists are so dumb, they will buy anything with a green label! I'm gonna find a way for cows to produce green feces so that I can get them put on the endagered species list LOL

Gget into a crash with this thing and they wont need to remove you, Just burry you with it.
Plastic Coffin For Two!

The Asian companys already make small 3 & 4 Cylinder pickup and utility vehicles that get 25 to 30 MPG. All they would have to do is make them pass DOT and EPA to bring them here.

Ok idk about the rest of you but to me to be a pickup it needs an 8ft box and 8 lug nuts that need more torque then that is capable of making

I could see more light commercial uses for this than as a personal pickup truck.

And I thought that the FourTwo was bad...

Has potential but the chunky look has to go unless they are going to try and sell it as an off-road vehicle...but then how successful was the X-90?

its time for the small trucks again

With gas prices as they are, it seems time to re-introduce the small pickup of the sort that Toyota, Datsun, Mazda, and Isuzu used to sell here. Real work trucks, body-on-frame, 1100-1500 lb. capacity, just smaller, 4-cyl engine, without all the wussie amenities. Something that could sell for about $12K. But this Smart forUs isn't a real truck. It's a toy.

I like any small vehicle that fits in the back of my manly Chevrolet pickup!

Not at all impressed!

It they had said, next Suzuki Sidekick, I could see a future for it. Replace the small pickup.... not a chance.

I could see hikers/rock climber types digging it. Trail capable, room for the dirty equipment, and still good for commuting.

I think it has potential

What a piece of tinker toy junk. My golf cart at less than 1/2 the cost will be of more benefit to me than this over-priced hunk of plastic and recycled beer cans ever could.
When I see these "smart cars" lol,lol I want to just ask the driver what in the Hell were they thinking when they drive this thing on a major road. Must have a death wish I think...

a real full size light to medium duty half ton pickup (not the 3/4 that are called half tons now days) with AWD .. oh i dont need 380+ hp... but 25mpg in city would be nice... in otherwords a real hybrid for the ACTUAL needs of most pickup owners who like the utility and room of a full size truck with out all the extra HP and crappy mileage.. would b nice?

YOU KNOW - HERES THE PROB - IF THEY PRODUCED IT AND PUT IT OUT TO THE DEALERSHIPS LOOKING JUST LIKE THE ONE IN THE PIC? THEY'LL SELL SOME - SURE. BUT IF THEY GO AND CHANGE THE STYLE - OR TONE IT DOWN (AS THEY USUALLY DO) THEN YOU CAN FORGET IT....Cause the concepts always look better than the original street versions half the time anyway. Keep it as is and folks, the young crowd, will buy it - especially those who live in vehicle congested areas like big cities.

Thats cool..

the designer must have been drunk or something

Very cool looking little vehicle. Good for them. It should do well here, I like it alot. hopefully it's not so expensive that it won't be able to be afforded by the very people it surely was designed to have purchase it.
