I'd uplaod and post some pics but I gotta get to bed. I start work @ 6 am tomorrow.

Here's the road test of the smart fortwo cdi : http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/jm/fortwo.htm

Check out the smart website, info for Canada is now posted...

Love this photo...

excellent !

Note That the smart cars, fortwo and roadster principaly, are very exciting for children, even 2 years old childrens.
Recently, a low odd children started to cry in front of my smart because he wabted to stay during his mother tried to move away with him (is it undestandable ? )

I was just looking around the smart Canada website and saw this picture under cargo...



Mmmm... BEER!! They certainly seem to know how to win over Canadians. Just show them how much beer you can fit in the car!

excellent

And again, The smart fortwo can carri alot of things...it's incredible when you see this shortest car ever comercialised

It's quite roomy inside actually I liked it, it was comfy but it's so tiny from the outside!

Yes, but there are only to seat... and the Rear engine help to obtain space

Finally this car is really fun. It's useless to compare to something elsen it's a diiferent way to think the car

It was brilliant for smart to feature this pic on their Canadian website. We Canucks love our beer .... and this pic really illustrates how much cargo you can get into one of these microcars.

Here's the FAQ page from smart Canada's website :

examples:





( I wonder what it would do with the limiter removed? )

Would it be possable to buy a smart in canada and "import" it to the US? Or would it be a huge pain in the ass?

Did you not read this part of Paulie's post...

no, I didn't.

Not at all, according to the same FAQ.
And according to the Canadian Driver article, US may get it in MY2006.

hmm, thats not to long of a wait. I wonder how much they will cost. And if they will even be popular.

I think a lot of businesses will buy them / lease them for their sales reps ....

They are very unique looking and are highly noticeable. People will be staring at these cars anyways.
So if you own a business, you may as well stick an ad onto your car.

Here is a gallery featuring a few examples. Advertising which normally appears out-of-place on regular cars, seems to look natural on the smart fortwo.

Just found out that there is a company in the U.K. which specializes in remapping ECUs / tuning the smart fortwo :

I like the smart, I really do. But the problem is that here in America evreybody drives big cars, trucks and suv's. I could see somebody in a smart easily being killed by somebody in an SUV rear-ended them. It's unfortunate everybody LOVES big cars here. Personally I don't however.

Here is a good comment from the smart website... people ride motorcycles on the same streets with SUVs, which do you think is safer, being in a smart or on a motorcycle?

A lot of people die on motorcycles too, but I guess a Smart is indeed safer. But a motorcycle is a much smaller target than the smart so SUV's have more of a chance of missing em lol
