Before the Smart ever made it to the US I was a fan. Then they removed the diesel and stuck a gas engine in it that needed 93 octane I was disappointed but still liked the car. Maybe the price will now be realistic for a 2 seater.

Just might be able to pick one up on the cheap in a few years. If gas prices continue to climb I wonder if they will make a come back?
