    Smart Car US hold up

    Ok this is a very great car to drive you probably saw it on the show TopGear or online but why is the US gov holding up this nice car?

    The SMART its from Mercedes Benz or DaimlerChrysler their engines are small cheap on gas turbocharged 600ccs and it can match the Celica GT.

    I think their safe, safer than SUVs oh yeah if an SUV flips its roof will go down 10-20" killing the occupants inside because of the chassis weight
    I saw one brand new Expedition on the freeway when i was driving along I-15 there is this SUV that was "trying" racing me flipped, I think killing people inside.

    So I guess the government should allow it and ban SUVs which are killers to the environment and us.

    So let me get this right, you we're racing on the highway against an Expedition that rolled over and killed the occupants? And we have the Smart forTwo and Smart Cabrio in Canada (m gf's aunt owns one, her ex husband owns the Mercedes dealership up here, and her son runs it now, and they sell Smart cars since DaimlerChrysler owns Smart, so she got one the week they we're available in Canada). They are all CDI (Diesels) here though...

    You sure the smart can outrun a celica GT?
    My friend has one and it got smoked by an echo.
    Maybe you saw the newer model?

    Can i get one from Canada? the diesel for driving to work
    and oh can this thing pass the emission test here in the US? well i guess it can because the HD trucks have 8-10 cylinder diesel and they pass so why not a diesel engine smaller than a liter?

    I'll call EPA:)
