confirmed it.

1. We have 'em by the dozen here in NE NJ. The shock of seeing them has
worn off for me. Now, they're just little go-carts-galore.

a
few months ago, I played with the idea of putting a Smart Car emblem on
there instead of the stock Valkyrie emblem. Didn't do it, but hey... I
thought it was funny.

Around here (Bergen County, NJ) the Smart Car is carried by the huge
Mercedes dealer. Sort of tells you something about "Smart = Status"
for some folks.

It is built by Mercedes.

OK that explains why the Mercedes dealer sells them. Now explain why
people buy them :-)

Cultist? I can see their use in crowded cities. You see lots in Paris and
some other Large European cities. But you can park head on to the curb
which is a great convenience in areas with almost non existent parking. And
they are city cars. Aquaintance of mine bought one. He loves it, but his
other car is a Model A. But he does not take long road trips. Interior is
large. I am 6'4" and I sat in it without hitting. Would not want to take
a long trip in it. The are not buying for mileage. 40 mpg is not that much
different than larger cars such as the Prius, but a lot cheaper.
