Nothing from smart USA yet, although we've heard about new radios for the US smarts. No Pulse, mhd or CDIs sold here, of course. Thanks for the update.

No worries! Im just annoyed that my diesel I bought in April (first RHD one in Scotland) is not 9bhp down and less spec. However, I paid less for my car than the new CDi pulse! And as I have a passion I got the red interior I wanted!

No; according to smart USA not enough fuel savings to make it worth importing.

makes a massive difference i reckon. Shame though, its a neat system. Mate has it in his fortwo. Very weird when you stop at lights and everything goes quiet!

Thank you for posting this!

It's interesting that they chose to remove the panoramic roof.

they're not removing it. It is still standard on the passion. Its now an option on the Pulse.

Basically, what they've done is make the pulse more of a passion spec, and the passion higher still. It also means that the prices have rised. No Pure any more, but we havent had that since the scrapage scheme started, so will no doubt be back when thats over in a few months time

In the U.S. we're getting a Kenwood Nav/Radio factory option.
