Anyone remember the Smart For two. Well it's back. I honestly don't know why they have backtracked so soon on making it as it wasn't a huge seller in the first place.

So cheap Chinese junk made by Geely with Mercedes pricing. I'm sure they'll sell well...

The downfall of Mercedes needs to be studied
half_regard@reddit
could they make those wheels any bigger?!

Don't give them any ideas.

City car doesn't need 186-mile range. Carrying around a battery for no reason.

It almost feels like people behind such ideas are not living in the same reality as the rest of us „ah yes the times are tough and people dont have money for frugal expenses so lets at least build them an expensive electric shoe with „at least one kidney” pricing, thats what is needed” and then they will cry that nobody buys new cars anymore

I don't think they listed out the pricing, so save the complaints about the pricing until it is released?

You believe its gonna be sensible? I just dont thats all

These cars sell massively in Europe. More commonly larger variants tho.
Major-Ant4600@reddit
I wonder if the quoted 186 mile range is per the euro test cycle, if so that’s slightly less range than then bigger battery Fiat 500e.
lee1026@reddit
Almost certainly under the EU test cycle, since it isn't a car being proposed for US market (yet).

It was actually very popular in some markets

they were everywhere when i visited italy in the mid 2010s, looked funny backed in side by side in a parallel parking spot.
peopeopeopeo10@reddit
All of them are still in Italy to this day. Insane resale value still

The Fortwo sold over 2 million units during its production run. I would hardly describe that as not being a huge seller, it sold quite well.
Tesla has sold 3 million units of the Model 3 for comparison.

The car industry is healing 🥹

Number 2? So it's 💩?

Huh, they're basically trying to build an electric Aston Martin Cygnet by making the interior more premium. I don't know if it will sell though because Honda tried the same with the Honda e and failed miserably.
