2009 Acura TL SH-AWD vs. 2009 Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe

I've settled on the color, Gray, but am still torn between a 2009 Smart fortwo passion coupe and a 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD.

What do your think?

Comments on the Pros and Cons of each model are most welcome!

depends on garage space:
- buy the TL and no more room left
- buy the Smart car and you have space for a beer pong table and a set of golf clubs BUT you cant go golfing because the clubs wont fit in the car? hhmmm...

j/k but to me, two TOTALLY different cars, really just depends on what YOU want and your driving habits and what not..

I happened to see one blue smart car in our parking lot at work. That thing is tiny & would fly had it been in a accident ... (well knock on wood) ...

This is like compare a TL to a motorcycle: IMO they are two different animals ....

You mean the NOTSmart Fortwo. It only gets 34MPG. Might as well get a Honda Fit. It'll get the same MPG, have more room, handle better, and be more reliable.

What a stupid question! Its not like your asking us for your opinion on 2 cars in the same class....your asking on 2 totally seperate vehicles altogether. Its like me asking 'should i get the TL or a minivan'? like WTF! totally stupid question

Because you're so brilliant I know I don't need to spell it out for you but perhaps a few others could benefit.

The point was there are stupid comparison posts/threads being made all over this site. I used an extreme example in this thread to make the point.

Thought you might find the humor in it but, instead, you've become insulting.

Don't be a you'll live longer.
