I haven't found whether the US will be getting both the vergasser and the Diesel models, or only one.
If you're worried about riding/driving one - watch the video of the off-set crash test of the Smart and a W140 --- My concern is the ride - I rode in a Mini the other day on a road that is a little rough in the W124 - the Mini threw us all over the seats, even belted in. Dampened my interest in Mini's considerably. On 8/28/06, Steve MacSween <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The Smart is on sale in Canada since late 2005, and you are getting them next year (or so I believed I read somewhere), however not nationally, mainly in larger urban markets. Penske is importing them to the US and managing distribution, no? I did not pay close attention to the news coverage. In any case they start at about $19k Cdn, from memory, but many are selling waaaaay over that. -- "Mac" Steve MacSween Aylmer, Quebec (Canada) Mercedes: '82 300sd / '82 240d (x2) / '60 220s on 8/28/06 8:21 PM, Constantine N.
