In checking out your website I was disappointed that I couldn't get more info about "smart cars." I think people who are intrigued by your message may be influenced by your website if it were more informative.

In shopping for a new car for my growing family, we needed an newer, larger car. My '91 Honda Civic Hatchback (2 doors), though I love it to death, ain't gonna cut it. That leads us in our research to what we are reading are called "mini SUVs" (Foresters, Outbacks, Honda CRVs). Any one of the wagons we would love to have, e.g., Volvo v70, VW Passat (one of which you show on your website as a smart car) are actually more expensive than the mini SUVs and beyond our pocketbook. I also believe all are comparable when you look at mileage per gallon. Some more precise info in this area (i.e., comparing vehicles, or at least being more specific about what you think constitutes a smart car) would be helpful and, I think, give your website more integrity. Maybe even just a link to helpful websites that have comparisons would do the trick.

Anyway, your website is thought provoking. I just think you need some stuff in there to help your reader with options.

good point... the photos i posted were pretty much what i caught on the fly. i didn't really have an agenda in mind other than to photograph cars that looked smart to me. i've seen the forester and outback and crvs... and they seem pretty cool. since most of you're driving is on paved roads, whichever one is least top heavy would be your safest bet. i've seen a few other station wagons that look pretty slick by ford and saturn and others like them that seem reasonably priced. the bottom line i guess is low payments, saving $$ on gas (good in my book), and safety. good luck and i'll keep your ideas in mind.
all the best
