those are hillarious! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I saw the Smart cars at the Detroit auto show. I think the roadster is pretty cool.
The salesperson told me that when they go on sale the range will be $13-20k.
I think that's a good deal for a unique little vehicle.

The Smart car has been available in Toronto, Ontario for a while. Have seen one on Hwy 401. That is the main highway between Detroit and Quebec. In Toronto it is up to 10 or 12 lanes wide including the collectors.

They are selling here. If I remember the writeup price is about 17K CDN and they had orders for about 60 of them.

First guy that took delivery, delivers news papers to several towns 120 miles 1 way each day. He figured he'd pay for the car in fuel savings from what he was driving before in about 6 months.

The write up on them is HERE

look for them in dealerships as 2006 models, here in the US!

Here's the roadster version:

The original Smart cars are great little things - you see them all over Europe. The are so small that they stack them up about 10 high inside their sign at the dealership. Makes a great advertisement for what they are selling.

They get great mileage and are great for commuting. Parking is a snap. It's too bad that the original Smart isn't coming to the U.S., but the 2-4 and 4-4 both look pretty good.
