Don't forget, Will, the smart has 50% more hp than the XFi had. If they would simply offer it with a true manual transmission, it would be possible to get decent mileage out of it.

atomicradish: that IS the 2nd gen car. The rest of the world (including Canada) had the 1st gen fortwo. And you're right - the vast majority of the Hummer sales were H3's.
