Has anyone seen the new Smart car yet
 
I passed by the dealership today and there was a tiny little car there. Its called a Smart. For some reason I liked it. They have 3 models, one being a 3cyl. turbo roadster at only $15,500. Go to www.smart.com and check them out. Let me know what you guys think

Oh, and the roadster weighs in at just over 1700lbs.

00cc? ---- yea.

They are in the US now, but it must be limited. I know its for fuel economy, but so was the CRX HF and look at what people do to that. The roadster looks pretty good and is very light. Could be a good starting platform.

You are good not to beleive it. I always Tivo "5th gear", so along with cool segments on super cars, you get wierd euro ----. The smart car is a big cult thing there, people love to dress em up.

The host of the show described the convertible as, "what judge dred would drive if he was gay". That was the black one with red interior.
