ABG:
An ABG reader spotted a camoflauged 2008 smart car in California, and followed the driver. When he stopped, he asked "why the camo?" - since the car was already for sale. He was told it was an emissions compliant diesel, and the driver added:
"
Expect between 55 and 65 mpg around town and 70+mpg on the highway."
ABG contacted Mercedes directly, and all they would say was they were researching several powertrain options for the North American market, including diesel.
