    There's a handful here in my neck of the woods between Tampa and Orlando, the area Kermit Weeks has dubbed "Orlampa". Definitely a metro car and a few encounters around here with the rush of fruit and rock trucks will add their asphalt-imprint to those of the seasonal blue-hairs.

    If the overseas diesels get here as planned starting end of '08 it'll be a whole new ball game, especially with the diesel hybrids like the 70MPG hybrid VW Jetta. I may pay about $.50 a gallon more for fuel than everyone else in the TDI Jetta, but who wouldn't to get 50+ MPG in a nicely appointed mid-size?

    Smart can

    Here in NYC i've seen few of those,probably they'll come very popular if gas prices keeps rockeeting sky up.

    At my work site one of those corporate business guys bought one for his daugther & he end up keeping it.

    When i first saw him drinving in to the parking lot my first thoughts were damn it shrank ? ( he owns an H2 black & yellow ) & because every body knows him he decide to order custom plates "yes it shrunk" because the smart is also black & yellow

    It looks like the smart has some good off road potential.
