Over in China, people aren't going to plunk down money on a Smart just because it's adorable and kind of good on gas. No, they need to see a celebrity chase down an "art" thief in a Fortwo Brabus. And seeing as how Kobe Bryant is an ambassador for Smart in China, well... there's video after the jump.

Long-standing Lakers tradition of large men selling small cars. Kareem used to do ads for the original Volkswagen Beetle, showing off its headroom.
