Finally! It's here!
When the Smart car was announced I waited and waited to get one. After considerable time, a company called Zap has finally been able to import them. Okay, about a hundred. It doesn't look like I'll be getting one soon.
Really, though, it's an ideal car for my needs. I seldom haul anything or anyone more than myself. As you can see from the picture at right, that's about all it would be good for considering the size.
"Whoa!" you say, "That doesn't look safe!" Our friends at Top Gear showed some video in one episode that had a Smart smacking into a road barrier at high speed then bouncing off! The passengers - had people been allowed in the car for the test - would have survived. The passenger-side door still worked, too.
Finances would keep me from buying one anyway. Good thing I'm happy with my Ford Focus.
