Considering the success of Swatch, the Smart Car has a market in America. Its a babe magnet and you'll pick up lots of women who think its cute.

Pretty cool. The fully armored version is probably unobtainum.

Go with the C4 Vette. Much more car for the money. :)

Is there room enough for the huge ego of the buyer?

Whacha doin in Milan? Working on a JD Edwards software implementation project for a pharmaceutical company that sells breast implants.
I've spent the last two days in a conference room with photos of before and after photos of bare breasted women.
My wife told me that this assignment sure is better than a project for a sigmoitascope (sp?) manufacturer.

I was disappointed Daimler discontinued the roadster version. The ultimate babe magnet.

Smart cars are very popular around here. It’s mainly about the parking — there are even special half-sized spaces for them (and motorcycles).
Until this year, they were diesel — and got about 40% better mileage than advertised for the new (and 8” longer) gasoline powered Smarts.
They’re great for commuting in any city, where streets are narrow and parking spaces are scarce. Worth considering, if you have more than one vehicle.
Plus — they actually are babe magnets. Women seem to really like the cute little things. (Most women aren’t the motorheads that most guys are.)

It's my preference. But I'm also a big tightwad. Honestly, I'm probably looking at a 91 model (last year before they went to the LT1) because they're quite a bit cheaper. That's a fairly old car, but as long as it's lower mileage and been properly maintained it should be fine. Not quite as much throwdown as an LT1, but enough to suit my needs.

Is 30,000 cars a huge demand? I am sure those smart car customers are left wing lunatics mostly between the age of 18-25. In the US around 17 millions new vehicles are sold each year so this 30,000 smart cars is an incredibly insignificant number.

Look at the bright side — very little room for stupid liberal bumper stickers.
