I truly believe this to be a superior vehicle to the Lexus IS and GS duo!

Have you ever noticed the Lexus IS looks like half a BMW 5 Series from the back?

I truly believe my old klein mountain bike to be a superior mode of transport to an MCC smart.

I wonder if people stateside will stick Merc badges on 'em like they do in the UK.

Wow... I really don't care about Smart any more. They missed the boat. It would've been novel two years ago, but not any more...

Yawn...

Same here..Benz has been fumbling around with the Smart for years so no one cares.. While it may be decent at around 15K, I only worry about what will become of the driver when they tangle with some of the SUVs on US roads these days....roadkill!!. Perfect for nyc though..
