Today’s probability for being busy is…




Posted at 11:45 by Sadly, No!

…very high. Yet we wouldn’t even think of leaving you without some kind of entertainment, which is why we’ve decided to offer two DaimlerChrysler TV commercials to keep you busy.

  • The one and only smart forfour spot. It’s the one all the cool kids are talking about! (6MB, WMV.) Watch the commercial and go out and buy one already.
  • The soon to be released new Mercedes-Benz A class. (Which, for some reason, features a song by Christina Aguilera. Who came up with that idea, we don’t know.) [8MB, MPG.]

      The smart forfour wishes it were a mini. And having Robbie Williams tout it doesn’t help in the coolness factor.

      “It wasn’t, in other words, a Democratic administration that foolishly, through its own arrogance and incompetence, handed Al Qaeda leadership nearly everything it hoped for at nearly every step of the drama: a lax mindset regarding security, an escape through Pakistan, a gift invasion of Iraq that diverted precious resources from the serious work fighting terrorism, a mishandled occupation that provided a groundswell of recruitment.”

      Actually, it doesn’t look all that different from my Civic SI, which I bought after looking into the Mini. Same horsepower, and about $5,000 cheaper than the Cooper S.

      It is really nice to have a small car like that if you live in the city.

      Any reason you went with the Si over the Acura RSX? I ask since I ended up with a 2004 RSX.

      The A-Class isn’t at all new. At least not in the sane part of the world in which small cars aren’t taken to be a sign of effeminacy. Indeed, EasyCar had been renting them for years, though it’s now widened its fleet.

      It’s always interesting to see Sacco-designed front ends. To me, everything from the Frieghtliner std cab down through the M-class and into the A-class (which is sort of like a Sprinter) looks strikingly similar. Not that that’s a bad thing…but will there be an (r)evolution?
