Think about it, 33/41mpg in a vehicle that small is terrible. It should be getting 55+mpg. The 2007 Toyota Corolla gets 32/40mpg, the 2007 Honda Civic with a 1.3L gets 49/51mpg and the 2007 VW Golf TDI gets 37/44mpg.
The only good point of the ForTwo was it's turbocharged Mercedes engine. With that out of the picture, the US version is a complete piece of junk.
No intelligent person should willingly pay more than $8,000 for one of those rolling turds.

I agree. Why would you buy such a tiny car if it didn't get great gas mileage? In europe, where you get 1000 year old towns with tiny streets, it makes sense. Or parking can be difficult. I was in Rome and parking was crazy. Cars parked everywhere, no giant walmart parking lots.
We can get the diesel here in Canada. That makes sense. The dealer told me they were going to import the four door version. I would have bought one but they didn't import them.
