Smart Ad Finds Plastic Surgery Addicts That Should Feel Jealous of ForTwo's Facelift

German advertising agency BBDO Proximity Berlin is walking on a pretty thin line with its commercial for the cosmetically updated 2012 Smart ForTwo that was originally revealed at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year.

You Know You Shouldn't Hold a Driver's License When…

Given the main reason why someone would buy a Smart Fortwo in the first place, the number of drivers caught on camera either having a hard time or even not being able to park at all, is simply mind-boggling.

Just looking at the following video makes you wonder how in the world was this person capable of obtaining a driving license.

Fortwo Driver Makes a Not So Smart Parking Job

One of the joys of owning a Smart Fotwo is the ability to park in places more fit for a motorcycle than a car, something that comes in very handy in congested cities all over Europe as well as other parts of the world.

However, that doesn't mean you should park anywhere you can because you may be in for an unpleasant surprise upon your return as this owner of what looks like it's the Brabus edition of the ForTwo found out, presumably in Paris, France.

The driver evidently parked the car over a motorized bollard which had enough power to lift the Fortwo partially in the air. Video follows after the break.

Vilner Custom Studio Takes on the Smart ForTwo

You may or may not like Vilner's aesthetic proposals, but you’ll have to agree that Bulgarian studio is a very good example of what a company from a relatively small country with no background in its niche can achieve with some hard work and smart yet efficient marketing tactics. You see, instead of focusing on the local market and waiting for someone to discover the firm’s products, over the past year or so Vilner has been aggressively promoting every tune it has worked on. We don’t know if this strategy has translated into an overseas income, but it has put the company on the map, and that’s something worth noting.

In this latest tune, Vilner crafted a bespoke Smart ForTwo for one of its local customers. The Lilliputian two-door model received extensive styling modifications built around a square motive that is visible inside and out. On the outside, the ForTwo gains a colorful wrap that includes a chrome finish at the back and orange wheels, while the interior has been completely reworked featuring new and more luxurious materials throughout. Follow the jump for more pictures as well as a video from the build.

So this is Music Nowadays: Apparatjik and Smart Collaborate with a Disco Ball Smart ForTwo [with Video]

When I say, “Apparatjik,” you say, “Gesundheit”. Why? Because no doubt you, like me, had not even heard of these guys until today. Apparatjik are an electro band from Europe that describes their music as, no joke, “combat-disco”. Oh how I wish I was making this up. Anyways, for the band’s latest art-exhibition-cum-live-show Smart – yes, the same one that makes those piddling little city cars – took one of their ForTwo EV’s and covered it with a mosaic of mirrors.

I guess it must be artsy or something. As Michael Fischer, a spokesperson for Smart and someone who probably understands Appartjik about as well as you or I, explains:

“It’s not their approach to deliver a perfect piece of art or a perfect piece of music. It’s a very conceptual project. It’s not like a regular band. They play in a cube.”

Video: 5th Gear’s Tipsy Turvy Double-Decker Smart Fortwo
