Straightline - Toyota's Endo is thinking SMART

Toyota's Endo is thinking SMART

According to Automotive News (via Autoblog) Toyota will debut a SMART-like car at the Frankfurt auto show this fall. Called the Endo (not a great name if you're a biker), this will be Toyota's first effort in this class size for the European market. The car has an unusual 3+1 seating set up.

Will we see it here? Not unless the SMART is a big hit with Americans.

Full story here.

Sounds like a warning shot from Toyota. And I bed Daimler-Chrysler knows it.

Why bother with 3+1? Just give it 2 real seats. Most commuters only need one!

Far more attractive than SMART.

Endo? I bet it will do an endo if you hit the brakes hard enough, going fast enough!
