Looks like the motoring press over there can be just as scathing as ours:

Soon you'd see them hanging from the necks of well-preserved socialites at a charity ball for the Women Unable to Frown Foundation (WUFF)

Throw a Smart car in the trunk of an old Cadillac, pump it full of lead and park it in the Meadowlands. Get me?

That said, I bet the Yanks will lap them up.

That is a great article. Love this bit
For example, ads show the Smart car zipping into parking places and leaving enough space to mate with another Smart car. But New Yorkers lurking for a parking space would simply pick the Smart car up and deposit it in the nearest receptacle, or maybe take it home for use as a paperweight for takeout menus.
