From the Autoblog:

Some things just shouldn’t be combined, like a Smart and Eleanor

Mashups are a really cool idea, when you take two disparate things and blend them together to create something new and interesting like Danger Mouse’s Grey Album or Reese’s peanut butter cups. However, sometimes, no matter how much you might want it to happen, things just don’t mix, like oil and water.

Into the latter category falls the smartinor created by THALONDESIGN. Smartinor is the evil spawn of a Smart ForTwo and an Eleanor Mustang. Wearing all kinds of fake scoops, strakes, lights and a rocker panel stripe with the name “GT50%”, the smartinor is one of those things that may have seemed like a cool idea, but should have been abandoned long before it ever saw the light of day.
