I think they're kinda cool. I drive a Prowler and before that an MG. My wife drives a corvette. I also have a 4 door jeep wrangler for fun. And I still wouldn't mind having one of those smart cars to just fuck around town in. I HATE the price of fuel, it pisses me off everytime I put gas in the tank. I wouldn't want that to be my main car...I like sportscars too much...but for a car to run to the store in? Perfect.
As far as safety goes if it gets hit by another vehicle, I'll bet it's a lot safer than me on a Harley getting nailed by that same other vehicle. Either way it's gonna hurt real bad. But at least I won't get "road rash" in the Smart Car
Edit: One of my neighbors has one, and it looks pretty cool in real life too.
