Friends: 23 |  Test Drive: 2009 Brabus Smart Fortwo cabriolet Toronto, Ontario – How can something so cute have me so conflicted? Spock, in his Vulcan wisdom, would surely declare the 2009 Smart Fortwo as completely illogical. Why? Designed for congested European inner- cities, it’s a fish out of water here; it requires Premium gasoline; its halting five-speed sequential transmission seriously tries the patience of even the most saintly. Mother Theresa would put her fist through the fabric top in no time. Its 70-hp 999-cc naturally aspirated three-cylinder engine is pretty gutless yet fails to return the claimed 5.4 L/100 km combined (I saw 6.3). And it rides like a rickshaw. Tell Spock this Brabus Smart Cabriolet nudges 30 grand with taxes and freight and he might even laugh – which would be a first for a Vulcan.
