You've got just as much chance of finding a real nice VX as you do finding a Smart for under MRSP.
The Smart is quite a bit safer - airbags just for starters.
The VX you can achieve way better than those OLD OUT OF DATE EPA ratings. Of course most of the people I know with those VX's also have worn out "loose" engines. CRX HF is a good contender, Metro XFi is also in that batch. The Smart isn't an awesome mileage machine - it is a somewhat cute, safe car with extremely acceptable mileage.

48 and 55!
Are these numbers right? 
Can someone verify these figures?
I bought a brand new Civie Si in 92', and I though it was 31 and 36 for the Si.
