LOL! thats funny. At least the owners can laugh at them (unlike many hybrid drivers).
I wouldn't mind smarts as much if it wasn't for how they are often used around here as rolling billboards with flower power or other eye gouging images splashed all over them. My truck has an uncanny tendancy to pull gently in their direction, so I guess it doesn't like them either.
Although they're still ugly as hell no matter what you cover them in! I call them popper cars.
Not enough metal in them to make them go "bang" in a collission, so all you hear are the air bags going "pop - pop!" (usually under the tires). Or if you're not careful in a parking lot, you send a few of them flying when you fling the door open....and then they land with a pop. Maybe the handle was for the airbag?

I've wondered how they do in crash tests, crumble zones do save lives but can total a car real quick.
