Is on channel 4, I didn't see the Kressley there. They did say you could just back into the parallel spots and leave the front end hanging out but I don't believe that. It sticks out a little far.

Well, I got some smiles today from the staff of Park Place Motorcars(read home of the mega rich) to test drive a smart car pulling in with the K5.

It is basically a go cart with roof and air conditioning.

Just as a reference point they are about 18" longer than the K5 is wide.
Or chop the L at the back of the cab and it is a foot shorter than that.

Kind of cool but not sure it is for me.

I agree with this link.
It is bigger inside than the TL and you sit much higher, but it doesn't ride or go like the TL. and it is louder inside.
