The Smart Car

They're are all over the place in Germany! It's cute, but I think I would feel a little claustrophobic. Any takers?

//Edit//
I found this online:
The Smart Car is a tiny subcompact vehicle, only about 9 feet long and 5 feet wide. The 3-cylinder engine has fantastic fuel consumption, 42 miles per gallon, and has a top speed of 90 mph. And while it is tiny - one feels as though you can lift it yourself - it is, in fact, surprisingly roomy for something that size. Though granted, your main concern would likely be what happens in the event of a crash. According to the company, the Smart Car gets a 4 star-crash rating, surprisingly good for a vehicle of its size. The Smart Car will cost between $11,000 to $17,000. It is available in three different models, including a gorgeous little convertible.

& The site where I found this said that the Smart Car is coming to the US in 2008. It might already be there.

Ashley those things crash and burn at like 30 m.p.h. Kinda dangerous. But they might do ok with the way you drive. Granny Jones. Major J.K. Ashley! ILY

Aunt Beth - they will all have their own. How much do these cost? Not bad for where I live (East Sac/Midtown) to go from Point A to Point B. Definitely not a RoadTrip car! yikes....
