Gas prices recently went up again too, I wonder if this combined with Cash for Clunkers is boosting searches/interest, not to mention the greater presence of smarts around making us more visible in general. It took a while for me to even realize they were being sold in the U.S. since I wasn't really paying attention to new car sales at the time, but when I saw more than a few smarts around L.A. I looked into it....and bought one!
