    I just took delivery yesterday of this little monster! This car is unbelievable fun! Not available in the states as a 2007 there are only 2006 Models available right now, and then they will be bringing in 2008 US Models but they will no longer be a Mercedes-Benz based product!

    If anyone wants one let me know and I have the ability to get them....

    This one is a 2006 Smart Car Passion Cabriolet. Its a zippy little 3 cylinder turbo, I am working on a bunch of upgrades right now that will hopefully pass customs with no problems from the U.K..

    It handles incredibly for its size and is quite zippy with a 6spd automatic/tip-tronic tranny...

    They retail for the cabriolet brand new for about $31K and the hardtop $29K, I can get them for considerably less.... If you are interested PM me....

    Seth

    p.s. - Took it out to the nautical mile last night about 3 blocks from my house, and believe it or not I got 10x the attention I get in my Gallardo... unbelievable!!! At close to 60 mpg you might see this mini-monster on the next run !!! :)

    Could solve alot of the congestion problems in NYC, if even half the drivers switched to them from SUVs.

    Yes. I can see them as pothole stuffers even now!

    Jeesh. you get hit, you are burried in something smaller than a Contadina can. I'm all for helping the environment. I'm not for driving around in something smaller than a flower pot.

    Ok Honey we are going around the bend now.........LEAN!

    Bryan -- Just think, you could put that thing INSIDE that big SUV you have, just in case you needed an extra car on a long trip.

    (Hey when are you and Shiv going to come to Philly -- we need another good dinner and round of drinks.)

    One of my close friends is 6'3" @ 300 lbs and he fit just fine, and the damn thing still moves! Just ordered some brabus items...... Boost it up about 25hp... Should be slick and quick!

    Don't worry this also beats Joey's 360 !!! Although I heard through the grapevine that a Murci is on it's way.....

    Joey - Care to chime in? Will they be changing the reserved sign at scores?

    "PARKING FOR FERRARIJOE ONLY"

    to

    "PARKING FOR LAMBOJOE ONLY"

    Seth

    HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT 4th

    Hey, Clyde. Nice to see you. I dunno- I was in Rome recently, and there are tons of these cars, and scooters, of course. Everybody seems to navigate the narrow roads there pretty well, granted the climate is more temperate than NY, but i'd have to think that if we didn't have all those trucks banging on the city roads, maybe they'd be in better shape too. I hear ya about the collision issue, though. It's sort of like arms reduction.

    It's a zippy car, handles great, and I had it at 80 mph yesterday with NO hesitations!

    Highly recommended!

    I have a supplier for these through my business affairs.... PM Me with your info and I can call you tomorrow and go over the costs and details...

    The only real option is you need to decide on it hard/soft top and color...

    RED / BLUE / BLACK / SILVER / YELLOW / WHITE / ORANGE

    Not all of them are always available.....

    Is that boost it up BY 25hp, or "TO" 25hp? :D

    (Sorry, couldn't resist. But cool car!)

    So then it will have 74hp? Am I right?

    74hp in a 1631lbs car.... it still needs more... like twice more.
