huh....interesting....I'd like to see some other shots of this thing, but it'll be interesting to see how it does in the market. Any price point yet?

probably under $8k to be viable here. I would get one, just because.

It looks cool.. not pretty, but cool. If they gave it decent power it would sell well. But, car companies don't realize that, so it will have 80hp.

hey, if it had a 80/300 hp to torque ratio... I'd be fine with that :) Of course, that aint happening either...

Saw one of the current gen Smarts in LA last Friday. Took me a second to realize what it was. I don't feel safe in my Accord sometimes and that Smart is prolly about as sturdy as a Geo Metro.
