If this car got 60mpg and costs under $10k (like it should) then I might agree to it being a "smart" choice. But unless you live in a very crowded city without interstate/highway travel then I have to say buying one of these is really dumb.

"the Smart car isn't about being smart. It's about showing how cool/trendy -- and politically correct -- you are."

I wouldn't buy one at my time of life, and it's not a super-practical choice anyway, but it is safe and it is "normal" to drive.]]>Mar 25th 2008 5:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/25/u-s-smart-fortwo-sales-so-strong-penske-wants-15-000-more/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/25/u-s-smart-fortwo-sales-so-strong-penske-wants-15-000-more/
who would pay $12-16K, the price range of many great compact cars: civics, yaris's, corollas, mazda3s, etc, for a car that is only half the size and only benefits by 4+ mpg. yea these ppl are real "smart".

correct me if I am wrong but doesnt the smart use a mitsubishi motor? i predict that once toyota comes out with the "iq" or honda jumps in the micro car segment they will demolish the smart. ]]>Mar 25th 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/25/u-s-smart-fortwo-sales-so-strong-penske-wants-15-000-more/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/25/u-s-smart-fortwo-sales-so-strong-penske-wants-15-000-more/Mar 25th 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/25/u-s-smart-fortwo-sales-so-strong-penske-wants-15-000-more/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/25/u-s-smart-fortwo-sales-so-strong-penske-wants-15-000-more/

I like the idea of the SMART. However, I would never drive one in the USA.]]>Mar 25th 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/25/u-s-smart-fortwo-sales-so-strong-penske-wants-15-000-more/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/25/u-s-smart-fortwo-sales-so-strong-penske-wants-15-000-more/Mar 25th 2008 5:13PM
