See that? ...that's your car that is... Paper Bag Rating*
Merc / Daimler Crysler - Smart
Smart thing
It seems likely that the name 'smart' represents the 'smarting' sensation one feels after paying good money for one of these plastic novelties. The car shown has suffered a 65km/h head-on crash, which initially seems rather good, but what the manufacturer failed to mention was that it was a 65km/h crash into a swimming pool full of marshmallows.

Corbin Sparrow

This car can not really be awarded any paper bags according to our rating scheme. This is because the rating indicates how many paper bags a passenger needs to wear in order to ride in the car - however in this case there is not actually any room for a passenger. The manufacturers billed this three-wheeler as "The Ruler of the City Streets" - unfortunately they were referring to the city of St. Davids in Wales.

 Clever use of a recycled bus shelter has allowed Renault to sell these contraptions for £17.95 at selected wine merchants and still make a profit of 83% on each one.
Honda - Insight paper bagpaper bagpaper bag

 Well hats off to Honda for saving the planet - but was it really necessary to board up the rear wheels in order to get an extra 0.5 mpg?

Morgan Aero 8
 In order to reduce their long waiting lists, Morgan had the choice of either increasing supply or reducing demand. They chose the latter. The Morgan 8 is actually a normal Morgan which is heated to melting point and crashed into an oak tree on the Malvern Hills.
Hyundai - Amica paper bagpaper bagpaper bag
Amica thing
 Possibly the replacement for the equally unpleasant ATOZ - or possibly not - we don't really care to be quite honest. One of our readers, who we shall call
"Mr X", but who's real name is Gordon Smith, reports that his wife's yellow Amica "looks like a malformed tweety pie crouching in the driveway" and that she would have been better off buying 6000 lottery tickets. We cannot help but agree.
