I still tend to think that even for the city, there are better options, for sure. I just can't imagine myself standing in front of a universal car dealership, with the price of a new smart, just sitting there in my pocket, and I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO WORK FOR THE MONEY... I'd still not buy one. I'd probably get either a GEM or something similar, or a motor-bike.

I honestly just can't see burning liquid fuel in a city environment at all, excepting when you're doing so to enter or leave the city. I'd love to make my vehicles able to go 10 or 15 miles @ 30MPH without using gas, but still have the ability to go 60 MPH on the highway (serial hybrid, very small electric motor), so that when I just make a trip to the grocery store, I don't have to pollute my neighbor's air by starting Cara.
