LOL, I stopped by a dealership that was selling the smarts. It does make the Yaris feel limo like after looking at one. :smile:

the one that blackyaris's wife is sitting in is the new 2008 model that will be released in the u.s.
apparently it is a bit bigger than the earlier model shown in the boss's photos.

i think they are going to release the smart with a bigger gasoline engine for the u.s. market, rather than the diesel.

I have seen a couple of Smarts in town. I can't help but think they look pretty silly. The Corbin Merlin was way cool. That was a car with potential.:wink:

I drove next to a clasic Mini on the highway the other day... and yeah, our cars are real porkers in comparison...

Call me a stereotypical American, but I don't think I could possibly own anything smaller than a Yaris.

oh how could you resist on of these? If they weren't so expensive here, I'd get one in a heartbeat...
