Seriously considering a SMART when they come to the US next year
over 90 mph...mileage about 40 miles/gallon...price $12-17K US...this would be a sometime commuter car...

I take it you don't have other diesel engined cars down there because of California emissions control? Up here you can buy a TDI powered Volkswagen...like a Jetta or Golf/Rabbit...which will get good mileage and have more seats/be more practical...
I think I would really hate driving the SMART...but that's just me. EDIT: I think I'd even get a Toyota Yaris or Honda Fit instead...comparable mileage, costs less, seats four in a pinch... |

My wife used to own one when we were living in Germany. It was a cool little car that made parking in any downtown area a breeze. We were averaging about 40mpg's on it.

I saw a Brabuss SMART here the other day. I liked it. Wide fender flares, deep wheels (THREE LUGS! lol) the seats were intersting... kind of a combo between sporty and ergonomic. (think crazy mesh support).
I'd drive one. Or I'd drop a Hayabusa engine in one, anyway. =) |
