Great idea but I think that they better make a four seater for the US market.
Smart cars have been out for about a year in Canada and while really cool, I
have a hard time
imagining 2 average Americans in one ;) LOL,

They do have a 4 seater model already, it is selling in Europe for
quite a while.

That's great Haken, so if they already have a four seater,
it is not to much of a stretch to do a minivan version as well and still
be considered a smart car?
Also, I've seen the two seater and while really cool, there is no way
you are going to fit 2 - 250 pound people side by side, they would
Tallex,
The market for 250 pound people is very much smaller in Europe than in US and
I think that it is not a primary target for SMART cars. Do not only
look at one, try
it and you will be surprised on how spacious it is for 2 people and
how well it

I've seen the 2 seater up really close, took a look inside, watched it being
parked
in a miniscule spot, been behind one and in front of one in traffic, haven't
driven one yet.
They are really cool little cars. I think it is going to fill an important
niche market for

Don't write off the Smart car on size or refinement.
I have driven one and in the city and its great for parking, the front
seats have more room than a Neon and it has all the bells and whistles of
it's bigger brothers. Having a Mercedes motor cycle engine means that it's

I think this is a replacement for acid only. It does not replace the
base in the procedure. I may be something down the road but for now I
think its just experimental.

It doesn't replace the acid either. As I said at the time it's not a
new catalyst, it's just a different way of delivering
I've been thinking that what I need would be a two seater with a fairly
large storage space as I usually go downtown with servers and stuff. My
Golf works ok with the seats down, but if the whole vehicle were
designed for hauling small and medium loads a Smart Car design would
be perfect.
Hallo Hakan,
No offense intended, but I've been all over Europe and there are plenty
of big people there. I was (don't ask) at a Mercedes Benz dealers
convention and most of the men were easily over 6 feet and at least 250
lbs. Look at Hemut Kohl. He's big and heavy.
I do agree that
Bob,
I am not going to try and say that I have experience in oil fields like you
do. However, when the big oil companies build a plant that is dedicated to
removing CO2 from the air and putting it in oil wells, that tells me
something.
I was in Texas, one time and I pass by Sundown, Texas.
Hello All, All this size discussion is nice, but what about price??? Does anyone know? And will the diesel be offered in the US market? Thanks, Tony MarzolinoJohn Markham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Don't write off the Smart car on size or refinement.I have driven one and in the city and its
I actually saw one of these SMART cars on the road with Massachusetts
plates. I recall checking them out about 6-8 weeks ago and seeing that
they were available for special order through a dealer in New
Hampshire.
That being said, the 50bhp fortwo model gets 60 mpg (4.7 L/100km)
average.
Insert:
I googled Smart hybrid and found that they have a concept hybrid
(diesel-electric, as Mike pointed out) that achieves 81 mpg (2.9
L/100km).
Nice.

I hate to see these things on the highway, looks like people flying along
under an umbrella. Surely can speed along, this is pretty much a four-wheel
hooded motorcycle. Incredibly cute, though, and comfy. Very popular here
in Toronto, but there's zero trunk space.

I am currently in Rome and Smartcars are super popular here. Scooters are almost a plague. I will get a closer look over the next few days and give you my opinion about them.On a side note I think that Smartcars are a great idea for commuting as long as everyone drives like it is an activity that
