anyone know what the MPG ratings are ?
According to the EPA, fuel efficiency is lower than the 5-seat Toyota Prius, which achieves 48 city and 45 highway while the Smart achieves 33 city and 41 highway. Additionally, the larger Chevrolet Cobalt, with its 148 hp engine achieves a combined 31 MPG compared to the Smart's 36 combined MPG with its 71 hp

I drove a Smart years ago in Germany for awhile, it is an awesome city car.. don't know how pimp one could make one but i'm sure there's a way...
they are very safe used within their designed environment... inner city.. they park great... and yes the fuel mileage is lacking compared to newer technology.. the Smart has been around a few years folks....

I'm actually diappointed with the changes that were made to it to bring it into the US. The ones in Canada are available with a diesel that gets around 60-65MPG and I've been passed by them on 95 up in Maine. That little thing was doing about 90.
Do you honestly think our Government wants a car with that much of a disgusting gas rating in the US? I mean Come on, Half of the gasoline companies are owned by our very own government officials. Its to their best intrest that you pump gas constantly. Yea the governments DOT department are the ones that require some cars to go through changes before they can set foot on US soil.
