The Smart Car, widely sold in Europe, is scheduled to start selling in production
in the US during the second quarter of 2008. Only the gas (not diesel) model
will be available, offering a 1.0-liter 71HP engine. The unit is being imported by
Daimler-Chyrsler.
The 2-seater model has been tested by the EPA and is rated at 41MPG on the highway and 33MPG city (36MPG combined). Note that in Europe it gets 60MPG highway, but that is without US-required smog equipment. The base price for the entry 'fortwo pure' is $11,590, with the coupe at $13,000-$16,000 and the convertible at $16,590-$17,000. Currently there is a waiting queue for most all car orders.
