Critique of is the smallest choice the smartest choice

In a recent article written by Dwayne he discussed the size and safety of the Smartcar. According to Dwayne the smartcar is simply to small and does not have the safety qualifications to meet his standards. However I somewhat disagree with certain aspects of Dwayne's argument. I had recently spent some time in Europe and when it comes to automobiles they are nothing like Americans. Most cars in the European towns that I visited are relatively small. Most of the drivers there seem to want small cars that could easily maneuver the tight ally ways and streets in most of the old european towns. On the contrast Americans in the past have loved their huge SUVs and gigantic trucks. If the Smartcar wants to make it in America they will have to change up the look and style and safety features of their vehicle, I agree with Dwayne there, but I dont feel that it is as necessary for the Smartcar manufacturers to adjust the vehicle for sales overseas. I feel that the Smartcar could potentially have a lot of success in its current form due to the fact that the car is what consumers are looking for in most European cities.
