ZeriousTT and I saw a Smart Car driving around Philly over the weekend. I think we were on bainbrigde in the vicinity of 9th. Anyone see this thing around? I didn't know they were here yet, didn't think they arrived till 2008.

For those of you who don't know what a smart is:

I felt in love with those things when I first saw 'em on my trip to Spain. They were all over, all colors and styles. Great for gas. That's about it, but cool none the less.

I think in any car, the survivability is minimal in a head on collision with a big rig. That is some crazy **** though.

I saw one last week crossing over Rt. 1 in Springfield. I think it was the same color scheme as one in the picture.

I have also seen them around in NYC and in Philly and a couple months ago I was cruising next to a burgundy one on 476. The official release date isn't set until some time in 2008 but there are some around.

i saw one at the end of the summer lat year in fairless hills. I talked with the guy a little about it. It's a cool car. I'd take a fit over it if i was looking for that sort of vehicle, but they are pretty fun looking.
