smart car? i live in texas and have found that there are dealerships in mexico (distance: 1hr 30min flight, 10hr drive) that sell smart cars (the car sophie drives in the da vinci code, for those of you who don't know)! i could wait til they sell them in the u.s. but i've seen the prices in canada, which i think will be the same prices here or more, and it is a lot cheaper in mexico. i could get the convertible in mexico for the price of the cheapest model in canada! so my question is: if i buy it in mexico, will i have complications to be able to drive it here. what would i have to do if so?

How much would you pay for a smart car in the US? The smart car is coming to the US. A car dealership had a smart car in the 4th of July parade and was selling it for $25,000.

Is it legal to park a Smart car sideways in London? I have never tried it, so I am not sure if the whole car will fit into the lines of a kerb-side parking bay. I know that it is illegal to park your Smart sideways in Munich, I was wondering if there are any such rules for London. Let me make it clear; I am asking for fact not opinion. A smart car is the same length as the width of most vans so I was just wondering. I tried it today, parked behind a van, it was shorter than the van. I know the legal limit for any car is 3 ft from the kerb.

Would you give up driving to have a super-safe, super-smart car that drives itself? Suppose in the near future they have invented a car that is smart enough to drive itself. You get in the car, input your destination and it gets you there. It knows how to react to traffic, can read and respond to traffic signals and signs, and can reroute itself if it is alerted of traffic congestion via an online database. And it has been proven to have a completely accident-free track record. Would you give up the control of driving to have a car this safe and smart?

And has no room for more than two passengers or any groceries. I keep seeing one of these things putting up and down my street, what the heck is so intelligent about it?
Is a smart car a good car for a teen? I turn 16 next year and I know how adorable smart cars are and they're fairly cheap. My dad is on a waiting list I'm pretty sure too. I live in the midwest so there is some bad weather during the winter, but I have backup. I'm a very cautious person and I certainly won't speed or be reckless or anything. Anyway, is it a good choice? when I said I have backup it means in bad weather I wouldn't drive the smart car I'd drive a more durable car..

What would happen if you were driving a Smart Car and got in a Car Accident? I mean the Car has like a 1 star Safety rating. If you get hit by another car, your toast. Like these cars: http://www.motorhomesdirect.co.uk/images/TowingSmartCarswithMotorho/images/cars-for-towing-behind-motorhomes.jpg I'm being Sarcastic, I know it doesnt have a 1 star safety rating, but you get my point.

Does anyone know if and where the Smart Car is selling in the US? A friend just sent me this information and I have been thinking about replacing my old compact for a couple years though it still runs well as the gas mileage is lower than the newer ones. Have you seen the SmartCar, it's looks like a clown car but they get about 60 miles to the gallon. I don't think they are selling them in the US but we are only about 15 miles from the Canadian border and you can buy them up there. There are quite a few around here, in bright colors. The small one is a two-seater and they have a bigger one that holds 4. They run about $8,000, but I don't think the US will allow them a dealorship because they just don't use much gas.
