...chassis is that of a Mercedes A-class sedan. The car's styling comes largely from SMH Automotive, the Swiss company that uses modular design to make Longines and Swatch watches (Smart, in fact, stands for Swatch-Mercedes art).

My irrepeatable, irreplaceable Valentine? Surely the implication of the day is that you were meant for me, I was meant for you. That movie Sliding Doors. What was that all about if not that the right she was destined to meet the right...
