Saw my first Smart car...

[Gussie2000]

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.

There are a couple of "Smart" Cars here in the Aspen Valley, but then again we're all granola crunching, save-the-planet, tree huggers out here.

It's worse in my corner of the state. I work in the vicinity of Boulder. In this part of Colorado, you get a free Subaru with your state tax return. It seems that way, at least. Part of the reason I had to buy the VX was because I was sick and tired of driving the same car as everyone else!

But the Smart? Yeah, they'd be great city cars. They fit in great in Munich when I was there. They go well with the new urbanism ideas, too. I can see it as being the PERFECT literal grocery-getter.

But otherwise, I'm very unimpressed with the mileage numbers. As much as I really like the SMART and want to support the idea of smaller fricken cars in the USA, I don't think that's the car that's gonna do it for me.

The little buggers have been all over the place here since Jan. I admit, if I didnt have to take the highway at all, I might consider one. There is NO WAY IN HELL I would drive one on a highway. I see a few here on my daily commute doing it though. Either they are fearless, scared fecal-less, or just plain stupid.

It's an idea I would like to like...but the milage numbers just don't justify it. Too many better alternatives. Send me the new Fiat 500!
