You can drive one off the lot in some places, so many people have cancelled their orders.
They had one in Seattle that some one orderd, however the color combo is ugly. Red and silver with red interior. Looks real bad. however Seattle is a tree hugger city,and it went fairly soon. These cars are in demand. In 2005 a company here called the green car company was selling these cars for 29k. they were importing them from Canada. That is where I first drove one, what a riot, however I was not willing to pay 29k for it. I decided to wait untill smart started to deliver to the U.S. My price with heated leather heated seats is right at 14.5K
