foraker Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 The last I read, Smart Cars weren't going to be sold here because they couldn't meet US standards or some such. I might be wrong in the details... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greta Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Probably doesnt meet the crash test standards. It is imparative that we all drive huge fucking vehicles for our own safety, not to mention the fabulous gas mileage that keep us so dependent. I must admit, I'd be a bit nervous driving one of these on the interstate with a hummer breathing down my neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Well..E's post above pretty much sums up my sentiment. Carry on then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TREETOAD Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 They actually have a very good crash test result. They have a very strong passenger compartment. I don,t think that mercedes thinks that the U.S. market is ready for them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I heard it was due to emissions standards.... the American cars would die of embarassment and shame when compared to the Smart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TREETOAD Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 They have a tiny diesel motor, I don't know the displacement but they go 120 klics down the highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 That was it, Dru. They actually have a sporty version that I'd sign on for. I wouldn't worry too much about the Hummers. Everyone seems to drive them like they paid way too much for them. :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Wilst travelling to the 'ham on my moto, Ive caught some pretty stiff winds ripping through the skagit valley, just north of burlington that would put this thing on its roof.
