Linked from Drudge (don't judge me!) was this article in the Boston Globe entitled "Frustrated owners try to unload their guzzlers"

Quote on the second page, "At his Mini dealership, Chambers said people have been turning in Chevrolet Suburbans for the tiny British car in recent weeks. <b>He currently has a one-year waiting list for the coveted Smart Car, an 8-foot-8-inch vehicle that gets more than 40 miles per gallon.</b>"
I've seen a whole lot of articles about the smart in the past year, mostly negative from the automotive press that just doesn't get it. But congratulations, boys and girls, we have finally reached that great plateau: The mainstream press recognizes us as "coveted." (Move over, Paris Hilton!)
