It would make a perfect little Batmobile in black

Nice concept. I think this went around a couple months ago. Smart, however, is not a concept but rather a 10 year in the making great little car with worldwide appeal. No likely competition for a while, then everyone will want a piece of the action. You better believe everyone in the auto industry is watching

Where's our little dupe symbol?

I wish so bad the UP by VW was ready so I could tell my friendly Smart dealer where to shove his $500 "fee".

This is, according to Edmunds to be sold in the USA.

I saw this in a car magazine a few months back. I understand that they are only releasing in Europe in 09 or 10. I am not going to wait that long. I will be very familiar with my smart by then.

Looks like smart is the leader with a line on wanna be followers IMHO

Oh also...I remember that it is 11 feet long. A couple plus more feet than our babies.

cool cars like these have been available for years. just not to us. we get jacked on the cool cars. go to Europe or Asia and you will see what i mean. look at the new VW Schirroco (spell) for example. one of the coolest production cars coming but VW has said that we won't get it here. instead they want to keep forcing ugly, boxy, dated Rabbits on us. i'll pass. bring the Schirroco here and i'll be the first in line.
