"Oh, look! It's a baby Smart car!"

Have you seen the Twizy? While we were with our Danish friends, we spotted the Twizy and a similar car on the streets of Montmartre.  

A new fully-electric "car" from Renault, the Twizy is billed as a two-seater (though we only saw one seat).  It charges in 3-1/2 hours and has a range of 100 km (62 miles). Doors are optional!

I'm sure it will be years (if ever) before it makes it to the U.S. It took years for the Smart car to be able to pass the crash tests, and the Twizy is really more like a golf cart. But it must be fun to drive, and it's definitely easy to park.







Not a Twizy, but something like it. (The focus is a little fuzzy; it was taken at night.)
