That would HAVE to be a ZAP retrofit model... ZAP out of California buys used Smarts, imports them, and retrofits them to meet US crash requirements. They've been doing that for awhile, but they charge $25k and up, so only the totally cracked out eco-nuts have bought them. Otherwise, you can't get a Smart into the States (well, you can, but you can't drive it!).

I'm in full agreement with BailOut. I like them A LOT (seriously!), but they're simply not competitively priced. It's a niche car, designed for someone who can afford to be trendy. Now, if that diesel was available in the US, that might be another story. But the gas-powered one doesn't cut it when compared to other vehicles in the same price range.

BTW, that new Aygo is incredible! I'd snatch that up in a heartbeat!
