Smart Fortwo Edition Moscot is a strange collaboration

If you happen to be the type who prefers your eyeglasses to match your car, we have great news: Smart has teamed up with Moscot of New York City to create the Smart Fortwo Edition Moscot. The black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow...) cabriolet is likely to be the last and final version of the long-running first-generation city car, as a new model is right around the corner. It doesn't happen often, but we're really at a loss for words on how best to describe this offbeat collaboration, so here's a statement from Dr. Annette Winkler, Head of Smart: "The 'Smart Fortwo Edition Moscot' and the 'Lemtosh smart' eyeglasses look great. I'm also particularly delighted by the way they combine to showcase the urban lifestyle and our smart attitude to perfection." So, there you have it. Urban lifestyle, smart attitude and perfection, all wrapped up in one microcar package.

Recharge Wrap-up: Smart Fortwo ED "Yo" Video; Cenex Low Carbon Vehicle Event highlights

Last month, Smart used the Yo app to give free rides to San Franciscans in the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. For those who are curious - or as Smart puts it, "electricurious" - about the event, but weren't in the Mission or SoMa neighborhoods on the day it went down, Smart filmed the fun to bring the rest of us along for the ride. In the short video, we get to see the action behind the scenes in Smart's mission control-style operation, as well as the riders' reactions to the tiny electric car. Check out the video below for more. The 2014 Cenex Low Carbon Vehicle Event took place at Millbrook last week. The show featured the latest in clean car technology. It included exhibitions, demonstrations and talks about the current state of green cars and of what's to come in the future. Green Car Guide summed up key details of the event, pointing out that new car emissions are down over one third in the last 10 years, and buyers have more low-carbon choices than ever before.

New Smart ForFour ad is f**king great [NSFW]

Perhaps we're just easily amused, but this new advertisement from Smart is hilarious, if only for its sheer chutzpah. It plays on the innate ability of small children to repeat just about everything they hear, both good and bad. The 45-second spot was put together by BBDO Berlin for Smart, and emphasizes that tiny city cars, like the new ForFour, are a lot easier to deal with than hulking SUVs. And it does so in the most amusing way possible. The first 30 seconds are mainly toddlers cursing like the proverbial sailor, dropping F-bombs and several less vulgar expressions. There's even a kid waving his tiny middle finger. Towards the end of the clip, the ad's point is made. Check out the video up top, and do keep in mind, aside from a short stretch, the entire video is uncensored. If your workplace discourages foul language, you'll probably want to wait until you get home to watch this.
