They've been selling smart cars up here in Canada for two years now, generally they start at about $24K CDN and go up from there, "loaded" diesel versions sell for over $30K.
If you think they won't sell, think again, they can't keep them on the lots up here, which is retarded as they can barely get up to highway speeds with the diesel in them...
Biggest waste of money ever, but rich doctors' snooty [censored] wives need something to brag about and a $30K piece of crap fits the bill.
Oh yeah, and about the geo metro being able to crush one of these... no. They weigh alot and do really well in crash tests. When I crashed my Focus, there was a smart car in the insurance lot that had been t-boned by a Taurus on the freeway, the doors still opened and closed. The Taurus actually looked worse.
