The Smart Car officially debuts in America in early 2008.

From the website:

Engineering and testing continues to take place on the vehicle that will be produced for the United States. The vehicle is designed to achieve 40 plus mpg under normal driving conditions and current standards. The gas tank of the smart fortwo is 8.7 gallons.

The smart fortwo has a rear storage area that can accommodate active lifestyles. Surprisingly, the fortwo has 8 cubic feet of storage space – 12 feet if you load up to the roof line. This area can easily fit numerous bags of groceries, gym bags and other items that are commonly transported every day, including golf clubs! The rear storage area can also accommodate many sizes of luggage making trips to the airport convenient.

No thanks there's something better coming out in 2008 that's going to amaze every one and affordable for every one not only that but totally environmentally friendly .

Besides all that why do you think you see so many old cars on the road ? Do you really think people want to breath all that pollution coming out of the old car they drive or could it be they just cant afford a new car .

I know $11590 doesn't sound like much to some people or even $16590 but you know where i come from you could buy a house for that much so what do you think the wiser investment people are going to look at .

I'm not saying people aren't going to buy it or its a bad thing but what i am saying is most people cant afford new cars although it helps to clean up the environment and save fuel all this high price new technology is just to slow to make any impact on the quality of air or global warming to do any good . We need it now not 50 years down the road.

Save your money something better will be out soon unless your in the market for a new car then that looks like a good one if you want to die in an auto accident .
