Nice Catch, Shanna!

This is the first time I've seen pictures of actual US spec smarts on US soil (the blue and black cars shown in the the blog).

Looks like the dealer might have some additional pictures to share in the near future.

Let's hope so. First time I've seen or heard of anyone here in the US getting to test drive the USA spec one as well.

Not really a review to my way of thinking. More of an advertisement. Isn't it on the dealer's site?

Wait a minute, look at the last pic of the interior. Isn't that the metric speedo? I thought those were the US specs. Or maybe those were just stock photos?

There's a mix. The yellow and silver smarts are Euro spec (presumably retirees from the street smart tour), while the black and blue cars are US spec (note the orange side markers built into the headlamp units).
