Wow are you guys ever getting ripped off!! They are nowhere near $30k here in Canada...They start at $18k
Keep in mind, this is NOT their latest blunder...this is a 10 year old car. It's just that once again the US is draggin up the rear. This car is desgined for the city people who need a runabout in town. It''ll happily do 75mph all day. There's millions of them in my neighbourhood here in Toronto. They are zippy and move easily in traffic. They'd kick the shit out of a 240D in a race. Here's the Wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_(automobile) Jeff Zedic Toronto
