There's been rumor that the Smart car was coming to the states. I finally saw my first Smart on the highway while stuck in traffic yesterday.
It had Canadian license plates so I'm guessing it isn't here yet.
I remember being enamored by this car on my first trip to Paris a few years ago. How convenient for city parking!
Might be hard to show buyers property using this but might make one focus on only taking listings!
I actually saw one on the 405 freeway last week. Almost worse than a motorcycle for safety it seems.
We have a dealership here that sells them and I've seen them in downtown Portland, Oregon. My newest client says once her house sells that with some of the proceeds that she is buying one.
I think these cars are the cutest things. I've seen a few in Florida.
They remind me of when I was little and my brother was playing with matchbox cars and he would pick the cars up and then run them backwards on the floor a few times and let go of them and they would take off.
Vroooom Vrooooom!!!
Many great points here. I visited the SmartUSA website. It's interesting to see how innovative this car truly is. Not only is it incredibly cost effective ($12,000 U.S.) but in this day and age of high gas costs, the site claims the car get 40 mpg under normal driving conditions and has top speeds of 90 mph.
Just some fun food for thought this morning.
