Probably a emissions thing, or possibly supply and demand overseas

I'm thinking we may need to start a turbo talk area. Lots of people excited to get turbos!

I took a black/black pulse cabrio with the 84 HP turbo engine for a long test drive when I was in Germany in April, including a run up to the speed limiter on the Autobahn. Getting there didn't take long.

Very, very nice.....and the pulse wheels with the wider rubber are a necessary addition to ANY smart, IMO.

We are excited but everyone that is wanting like 4000 is way to much a good price and reasonable would be 2000
