I think Evo VI and earlier generations of Imprezas (GC, GD) are some of the most aggressive looking cars.

Smart Roadster Coupe

February 04, 2014 by Dave See in Cars

Just last week I had the pleasure of shooting one of my buddy's car, the Smart Roadster Coupe.

Smart cars aren't exactly known to be fun driver's cars. This Roadster however, proves otherwise.

This small, simple, affordable, yet fierce, lively roadster seems to hit all the right spots.

Smart ceased production of the Roadster in 2006, due to warranty claims from the leaking roof. Within its 3 years of production, only 43,000 Roadsters were produced. Pity.
