I ordered mine the first day that they were offered. SmartUSA says that I should expect mine in January. $14K loaded. Perfect for the city. Who cares about the mileage, it’s FUN!

Exactly. These are all the same people who said the Prius would never catch on.

Adorable too!
Actually, it’s supposed to be really safe, like a super strong cage.

For $28K you can use ‘em as roller skates.

Good for you!

I would love to have one, but have to pay off my Scion first.

I find it strange that some people think Volvos are cool.

I want one but I have a baby- maybe by the time he’s out a car seat they’ll be readily available. They would be perfect for the city!

I agree it would be a good city car, but I live in the land of the F350 and won’t go smaller than my Nissan Frontier (4 cyl, 2WD gets 32-33 mpg)

Bring back the VW Bug instead of that POS toy.

good for you! I’ve heard that it’s passenger compartment cage literally makes it one of the safest vehicles on the road.

I must admit though I DESPISE SUV’s! (since 90%+ of the people who own them have no actual need for a 4x4 truck-sized vehicle)

Exactly right. I wouldn’t own one for a commute of any distance, but running around town, you better believe I’d own one. Why not? I think it would be a blast to tool around in.

It's fun until you hit an 8ft tall lamppost on the sidewalk...seen it happen in city traffic over here in Europe...tore the whole front end off of the smartcar...the driver and passenger were hurt pretty bad....hit something at 30 "clicks" per hour and the odds are you're gonna end up dead...
