Because that will sell...
I find it hideous.

i think it'll sell pretty well... unleash it to the hippies in san francisco, the lower-middle class of the midwest, and the trendy youths of the east coast, and you've got yourself a good market

Maybe it weren't so fugly. The only market that, I think, you have right is super-liberals in San Fran( and other areas). As long as gas is cheap the midwest will harbor large, powerful cars and the East coast is a vastly superficial place, overly concernded with "keeping up with the Jones'." As sad as it is, an ugly, 3banger probably won't fit in in America. That's my two sence anyway, not that anyonw really cares what I think.

How much foreign policy will it take to keep these cars out of the US? Oh I'm just kidding, no need to go crazy.

Ugh, Ive seen two smarts so far now on the road, both times gave me a good laugh.

Where in the US? I know there are a few here, but have yet to see one.

Another Smart Car? Gimme a break

smart cars would look better without two tone paint

there are quite a few here

they look better than the original ones

can't wait for a roadster model with new look and more power

[Egg Nog]

Good. I hope they sell well. They've done pretty well in Canada over the past few years.

I can't believe how many people act like small cars infringe their rights or something.

Near st.louis missouri. Ive also seen some in autotrader from the local MB dealership.

[NSXType-R]

How much power are these things going to have?

I'd hate to see them on the highway. They're going to be moving roadblocks.

If I remember right they are over $40K

I would be scared to drive that among our big SUV's and trucks.

I disagree. New development is cramming Midwest cities and people are either going to realize they need a smaller car or to take transit or continue sprawling out, the latter of which won't happen once gas prices rise again. San Francisco and the eastern Seaboard is already pretty dense.
