They should just buy and rebadge the iQ like Aston Martin and BMW did.

all I know is that the real world crash tests makes me think twice:
smart vs c class
iq vs camry
fit vs accord
all the little cars were creamed against just mid size sedans.

Its a much better idea than selling re-badged Daewoos and calling it American.
