    HAha, good luck getting one as they are already all sold out.

    Gonna have to wait till next spring to get a new one. Or try to haggle the dealer to sell you the demo model.

    You might think its ugly, but a death trap is one thing it isn't:

    MB makes them and they produce some of the safest cars in the world. So I wouldn't be too worried about if the car is safe or not.

    More crash tests

    This would be a great commuter car. I wonder when they'd be available for test drives.

    They have test cars going all over Canada. You should ask the Benz dealership about the test cars.

    The site's great, you can price it out and everything. There's even a guy in town that does after market stuff for the smarts, so you can get body kits and spoilers.

    Haha /////AMG you know I won't be buying one. It's beyond fugly well not really but the thing is i'm always hauling everyone else around, incl you before you took off for EN-GER-LAND, so it'd be pointless for me to get one.

    I love the roadster smart available only to europe. Ive heard it compares to the feeling of driving an original 911. RR platform, light and simple
    Looking for a new VW? How about a used vehicle? We are Central Albertas #1 source for pre-owned vehicles
    I will beat any deal on a new VW for beyonders

    I just wish they hadn't priced them so high. If I was in the market for a little car, I would have a really hard time swallowing the price of a Smart car when you can get a stripped out Mini for around $23K or a Echo for about the same price as a Smart ( both with a LOT more space and useability).
