A smart car is one with a speed limiter of 60 mph.
There are a few in New Zealand. I saw one close-up just this afternoon. Cute. Plus they go adequately, having followed one along the Kaikoura coast at decent speeds on a classic rally a few months ago. Cheers

A smarter car is one that runs you over.
...That can kick a cop in the teeth.

That's called "second gear" to me. As long as I stay in second gear driving through my neighborhood I'm guaranteed not to exceed double the speed limit.
The "taken Europe by storm" in the ad is a little OTT (Over The Top) but they do have their place in big cities. My neighbour has one (as well as a ginormous Range Rover -- makes the drive crowded) in Brabus version.
There are quite a few here in London.

Compared to you, *any* car or pile of fecal matter is smart.
Or one that automatically speeds up to 80mph, pours a mixed drink, and lights a joint for the driver when driving through a school zone or playground in Laura/Judy's neighborhood.
I would settle for one that automagically picks up chicks.

Those are called "Ferrari's", unless you're trying to pick up my ex-wife, in which case a Pinto will be sufficient.
