I like the smartcar forfour pulse a lot, the 2 tone makes it look very sporty, how is it on highway? and where are you from ?

@ Admin: I'm from The Netherlands.
The smart forfour is based on the Mitsubishi Colt (Xiali Toyota Vizi size) and the car is on the highway sporty and not noisy. The car is also really spacious and has an economic three cylinder engine with 55 kW/75 HP.
The smart forfour and the Mitsubishi Colt are both built in the NedCar assembly plant, but the production of the forfour ended because of the low sales (59.100 in 2004 and 43.700 in 2005).

Nice Passat Wagon :thumb:

Yes, agree. Your parents have right cars. But why it not chinese ? :)

In The Netherlands is no Chinese car available, the really old-fashioned Landwind SUV was the first Chinese car in The Netherlands (after the Peking (Beijing) Jeep in the eighties), but the import ended because of the desastrous crashtest. This year the import will be continued, with the X-pedition (in China: Landwind X6) and the modern Landwind Fashion MPV (in China: Landwind Fengshang / CV9).
And my parents are both no Chinese car fans :D

but the import ended because of the desastrous crashtest.
I know, that most models are prohibited in Europe because of crushtests. But all of them permitted in Russia :) For our goverment it does not matter, unfortunately.

nice cars :)
