jwight - Well, at first I thought, doesn't the diesel smart get about 71 MPG? That would blow the Chevette milage away!! I do like the thought that GM could bring a high milage vehicle like the smart to the market but I believe their management just can't get the concept into production!!

Not as long as they are in Big Petro's back pocket.
There are plenty of cars made by many different companeis from the '80s & '90s that blow away the Smart for mpg. The Metro and CRX both get in the mid-40s (using the new epa estimates). The only things you had to give up were safety, emmissions, and comfort.

And let's not forget style, although the CRX was pretty stylin' for its time.
