Smart car
During my errands, I happened to come across this cute little car. I have not seen any advertisments about this adorable car, yet here it is.
Smart car
Where did it come from? DaimlerChrysler
How much does it cost? approx. $27,900
What does it get for mileage? 46.3 mpg city / 70.6 mpg highway
Thank heavens for the internet to answer my burning questions. Too bad it costs so much.

That's the car I drive around in when I am in Europe! I am so happy that they are finally being picked up here (price notwithstanding)! It's a Mercedes-Benz engine, I believe (hence the price).
The car is imported (not made for the U.S. market yet)then converted to meet U.S. requirements, hence the increased cost.
If Mercedes were to sell the Smart in the US it would start at around $14,500. There reason that they cost $27,000 is because small companies like Zap are importing them and then modifying them one at a time to meet US standards.
