Why would anyone buy this when they can get the same economy from a Toyota Yaris which starts at ~12,000$US? The failure of the Smart ForTwo is it cost double the price of other cars in it's class. I have driven a Smart ForTwo, for the size / what ammenities are included / and percieved build quality of the vehicle, I would pay no more than 10k for one "New". Americans are not going to pay big money for small cars, the proof is in the sales.<br />I'll keep just my 90' 4WD Subaru Justy :)<br />-Eric aka.
