SMART Cars Coming to America
This year at the LA Auto Show, I, for the first time ever, sat down in a SMART car. These little guys are smart for a lot of reasons, most importantly because they are comfortable, small, and practical. There's far more leg room in a SMART car than there is in my Nissan Sentra, but the SMART car is almost half the size.
The sacrifice, of course, is the back seat. But in a world where every family already has one SUV...why not also have a little $10,000 car for single-person trips that otherwise would use a tremendous amount of gas?
And that's why SMART is officially going for the American market. They announced their planned invasion last year, and now they're taking reservations. It's looking like you're going to need a reservation, too, as supply will be limited and the demand (for the launch at least) is there. So, if you want one of your own, head to SmartUSA.com and reserve yourself a ForTwo for only $99.
