Some are already here. Karla and me got to see one of these parked at a Motel near Cleveland, Oh back in July. Some where I have a couple pictures of it. I really like the looks of them.

if they do actually come to the states I might get one! that would be sweet for my job! all I do is drive around I could keep a spare set of rims in back and hit the trails when the day is over!

Trust me there are some already here. Here is 2 pictures from around July 20th, 2007 at the Day's Inn Motel in Macedonia, Ohio. The car is almost small enough to fit in a pacrking spot side ways.
I really like the car.

Impressive, but they should have put dummies inside the car to see exactally what would have happened rather than guessing. Maybe they should use a foam injection system like the cop car in Demolition Man. :crazy:

KINDA COOL! they even got a vert! i would say a black model (non vert) with tinted windows and some 15 inch black rims might be kinda cool!

i woudl liek to se ehow one woudl fair against my 04 crew cab f250 diesel pullign a 8,000lb excavator and equipment trailer!
well watch the video of one hitting the wall at 70mph if the passangers could survive the suden deceleration then they would be ok, I also found a vid of 20tons getting droped on it and it only lowered the roof by 4 inches!! I was like HOLY sh T! for what it is its extremely safe, but im sure your f-250 would turn it into a recyclable with ease, but when it only costs 15g's to replace the smart car over the 100+g's to replace all your stuff, who realy wins?

I saw two or three in Chicago back in April. I have loved these cars ever since I saw them on the Wii commercials. A buddy of mine that was with me when I saw them in Chicago said that he has seen a few in the Huston area also.
However, for the size that thing should be getting better then 40mpg. Take a look at the Chevy Aveo, it gets 37 mpg highway and has 4 doors, a bigger engine, larger in dimensions, plenty of cargo room (for a car of its size), and also cost less for a base model. The Smart car is still kick ass lookin tho
I agree, I say lower it alittle some kind of crazy little body kit and do alittle hop up to it and it would be a blast!! wider tires a must!! it would be like driving a super golf cart through traffic, if you do alittle research I found that they are commonly getting 50+mph the 40 is just an average and in one test it got 60+ highway running at 75mph! they go up to 90mph, theres a certain limit to how much milage a gas car can really get and still be somewhat fast as well, im really considering one of these next year, the price is right in my op and for what I do it will be perfect, and the base model is all I need, plus on there site you can contact them for special deals, and im going to contact them through my company to see if I can get a deal, kinda like a long term high mileage test vehicle (i put on any where from 1000-2000 miles on each week, and up to 500+ in some days)
