People have to be pretty stupid to pay more than $15,000 for one of those worthless pieces of cr@p. But, because it is advertised as being "green" the people will come from all over the place throwing their wallets at them when there are far better and more efficient cars that cost significantly less.

Buy a TDI for less than that. More power, better REAL fuel economy (50mpg for a Smart is eBay-type lying, real MPG for US drivers is 40-45mpg), far better comfort, faster acceleration, better safety, more passenger room, more trunk space and better quality.

Seriously, if you could test drive a euro Smart you would know exactly what a cheap piece of junk they really are. I test drove a ZAP converted one last year and the salesman had the b@lls to demand $30,000 for a used demo car with 800miles! I can buy a C230 for that price!

The porked out American version coming next year is even worse.
