i went to italy about 5 years ago now, wow time is flying, anyhow my pops and i saw the origanal smart car, loved it, and tried to import it. there were numerous promblems, we were told we had to do crash tests and that it wouldnt be legal based on regulation in the us...blah blah blah. anywho, we gave up on importing and so we just grew a fasination for the vx because its similar qualities.(2 door, small, unique, fun) and i gt my VX about 6 months ago, and just recently my pops bought one as well.
well, now the smart car is going to be available in the us. its a pretty neat car. i remember it costed 6K new in italy, but with tariffs, it will probably cost around 10K here. if this suv they are making is available in the US, it might be tempting to get. its a good looking car.
