LOS ANGELES (AFP) — They might measure a mere 2.5 meters (eight feet) in length and only be capable of carrying two passengers, but tiny Smart cars are aiming to make it big in the United States, where hulking gas-guzzlers have long been the kings of the road.

As more than one million car enthusiasts prepare to descend on this week's Los Angeles Auto Show, one of the central attractions is expected to be Daimler's "Fortwo" Smart car, which goes on sale in the US next year.

Looks like I'll be fighting the crowds to check out the smart exhibit Friday. I'm glad the smart house in Venice is so close so I can get my smart fix every week.
