It took 80 days to repair my e208 of doom. They were waiting for the new traction battery to come from........ France. Waiting for spares is not just a Chinese phenomenon.

It probably had to come from China to France first.

For the sake of 1.9cm I would definitely rather be in the original (or 2014) Smart over the Microlino.

The Smart is surprisingly strong.

We've had Iran's Khodro before, remember the Renault 5 on a Kia Pride chassis? Well it turns out they also made stretched limos for the 8th summit of the 'Organisation of Islamic Countries' conference in Tehran in 1997.
