I have to agree with the majority....We can and are  able to drive to remote places with lesser vehicles....but given a preference....well, you know....it's a free country right?                                                                                      And for Michael....luckily, the 25 million Canadians living in urban areas can choose any car or truck....I'm thinking the Smart won't be on many lists....other than yours eh?
