The 2008 preview of car models is out on MSN and sure enought the Smart for Two is one of them. I wonder how well it will sell in US. In my previous post that was the first time I saw it when DBster sent the email to me. Yes, it looks like a coffin car, but the most important thing is it has great gas mileage. The report on MSN said this car is designed to achieve 40+ miles per gallon. That is very damn good for a small two-passenger vehicle. I wonder how it flys on the freeways. Can it go up to 80 mph without feeling the car shaking as if it’s about to fall apart? Just kidding. I know it won’t. I found this website with more review on this new baby from Daimler-Chrysler. My concern is if there is rear end accident, there is not much protection on the back of the driver and passenger since it is a two-passenger car. And the price tag is not cheap either, $11K – $15K. Maybe when opportunity starts knocking on our doors, I might be able to get a used Smart to commute to work.
