They are popular in Europe. By our standards they are a lil bigger than a high top tennis shoe.
I believe I read that the first one was delivered this week. I'll see if I can locate the link.

Thanks for straightening me out. They all look the same to me. Too small.

One of the local dealers is carrying the Smart cars here, (not the MB dealer either, as I remember..) and those of you who point out how small they are are understating it!

I don't know how much mileage they get, but something that small would loose in ANY collision, most likely even with a bicycle, from the looks of things!

For mileage, I'd look at a VW TDI, at least they are sold here in the states, and if you keep your foot out of it, can get up around 50mpg.

For survivability in an accident, I still like my w126!

Looks too small, looks too unsafe, and looks like a hybrid.

No thanks.
