SMART car?
Is anyone familiar with this new SMART Fortwo car that Daimler Chrysler has teamed up with Penske to produce. It is very small but there is something about it that I kinda like. www.smartusa.com . I hear they are supposed to be very affordable and great on fuel mileage. What do you all think?

Actually, it's Swatch (Yes, the watch company) that got them to produce it.
I've test driven one of the ZAP converted models. They are cheap, plastic filled, cr@ppy tranny, slow, and unsafe. I'd NEVER think of buying one after seeing it in person. If the sticker price is more than $13,000, it's not worth it. |

I can not recall where I saw it but I somewhat remember reading that the car was suppose to start at $8,000.00 in US Dollars.

How are big tubby Americans supposed to fit in that thing? Maybe it comes with suspenders?

I've driven a Brabus Smart... its a "sports car" looking Smart and its pretty fast considering its a Smart thats tuned by Brabus I'm guessing there are no plans for this car to hit the US?
