Apparently, people have been complaining about this design for years. This driver almost paid with her life.

I don't know if it's a design flaw or the person not paying attention and not acting responsibly.

I sent this to a friend who has a newer version of that car, and the intake has been redesigned.

That should no longer be a problem in the 2018 model Smart Car as they will all be electric. There will probably be no more Hyabusa 1100cc motorcycle engine conversions either which is truly sad.

Did you read the article and see the pictures. It is truly a bad design for the sake of styling. (if THAT word even applies to a SMART car😉).

Two ways to take the new design. It should have been different from the beginning or the need to better understand their client base.
