I hear the diesel did not stand up so maybe you are lucky they didn't import them so you could buy one. A local parts outfit had a bunch of them to run around town dropping parts to the shops. I hear the engines did not stand that sort of use for very long. Too bad, as the diesel was the only reason they were interesting.

I lost interest when they didn't import the Diesel to the US. Now we're seeing them around frequently. I see them on my commute to OKC, and on around half the trips on the Interstates in OK. My wife loves the look - might have one in my future, so I'm also interested in the responce to your questions --- On Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 11:41 PM, E M <pokieba...@gmail.com> wrote: > I stopped in at the dealer the other day to pick up some brochures for a > friend on a Smart car, as they also have a dedicated Smart Car showroom. > The had several on the floor, including 2 Brabus models, and a special > limited addition model 10 of 10. > > I think they're pretty over priced for what they are, but they are kinda > neat for a city car, or second car.
