So is my smart car: The smart fortwo that is available in the United States is: o 8.8 feet long (you can usually fit two smart fortwos in an average parking space!) o 5.1 feet tall (the smart still has as much headroom as most luxury vehicles!) o 5.1 feet wide (two six foot, five inch plus people can sit side by side with plenty of shoulder room to spare!) To answer your other questions... It is neat little commuter car that I saw in Paris and researched them when I got home. I have been on the reservation list since last March and they are sold out for the rest of the year. Some of the orphans are selling on EBay for $20K. The smart car (part of the Mercedes group) is $5K cheaper than the civic hybrid. Hope that answers your questions... David L.
