Smart cars headed to the US

Smart CarContrary to what Hummer would have you believe, when it comes to cars, bigger is not always better. Small cars get better mileage, are easier to park, and if they're designed right, can cost the same or less than gas guzzlers. Two seater "smart cars" have been popular in Europe for a few years, but Mercedez-Benz plans to launch the first Smart car in the US next month.

Now, there are a lot of things that are popular in Europe that haven't really taken off in the US. Nutella and French bread, kidney pie, and soccer (football) come to mind. I'd venture to say that the smart car also faces an uphill battle, thanks to America's love affair with the SUV. But at $15,000, smart cars like the Mercedez smart fortwo could be the perfect car for city-dwellers. It gets about 40 miles per gallon and since it's only 8.8 feet long, it fits into parking spaces that are barely big enough for a motor scooter.
