Replying to: deaner14 (Sep 29, 2005 11:44 am) hi, i own a Smart Passion fortwo. They are a blast. everyone stares. it takes 1/2 an hour to get out of parking lots for all the people stopping to ask ?'s. the cars are hard to get here in the U.S. dealers can't sell them. they have to have emmisions upgrades to get a registration. I live in south florida and this one is up to code and registered it was brought over by a guy who lives in England. I will be listing it on ebay as of this friday 3/24 it is a '99 mercedes smart passion fortwo with under 57,000 km great condition, clean no problems. starting bid is $12,000 Replies to this message: jchan2 (Mar 22, 2006 7:34 pm) smartcarforme (Mar 23, 2006 3:47 pm) jchan2 (Mar 23, 2006 7:58 pm)

#10 of 72 I've been keeping an eye on the Smart fortwo for a while by watkinst Mar 24, 2006 (4:36 pm)
Zap got the jump on Mercedes and I suspect there will be a big blow up once Mercedes decides they can actually sell the car in the US. More than anything I think its all politics. We have motorcycles with 1000cc engines sold by the hundreds with minimal polution controls on them in the US each year even in California. I ride a motorcycle all the time and if I could trade it for a quality car like the SMART with airbags and a roof I would be there in a second. I think the problem with the small cars and the perception in the US is that all of the small cars we have seen besides the original Civic are total junk. The SMART appears to have serious engineering and quality materials and that is a big plus even if it is a pint sized car. The small GM cars are still $18K or more and they are garbage. Seriously I think the first company to get SMART and sell a quality small car for a resonable price in the US will have a winner. The Mini is clearly to expensive for most people but the concept of a small quality car has made it very popular. I don't see why the SMART car would be much different only perhaps more affordable and great for the daily trip to the office.

Replying to: deaner14 (Sep 29, 2005 11:44 am) I was recently in Italy and these cars were everywhere, does anyone know where and if you can purchase one in Southern California? Replies to this message: jchan2 (Apr 06, 2006 6:03 pm)

Replying to: thecarguy2 (Apr 04, 2006 9:03 pm) There is this company in Scottsdale, Arizona I think called ZapCars that will modify a Smart ForTwo for you and import it into the US- you have to pay for the modifications and the actual Smart itself.
