So you guys really think Smart can make it here? Mercedes really can't afford for this to flop. I've never seen a Smart in person, but they look to be dangerously small for American roads??? M

With the way gas prices are going a small commuter car that gets a combined 55MPG should do well. My understanding is that Zap has a waiting list for the cars so it would be smart (no pun intended) for Damiler/Chrysler to seriously look into bringing it here. I've never seen a Smart in person, but they look to be dangerously small for American roads??? They are small but supposively they are pretty safe. The Mini Cooper is small and it sells well. |

| Yes, we all have concerns being confronted with an SUV while in a small car. But $3.00 plus gas will necessitate thrifty autos. For example take a look at the Mitsubishi i in the June 12 issue of Autoweek. Yes I am expecting M/B will import the Smart, and soon. | |
| DCX will formally announce on 6/27/06 that the Smart for two will be available for sale in U.S. in 2007. | |
