Would you buy one of these?

With oil prices way up, would you like to buy a Smart Car?

New dealerships are coming!

Smart microcar dealerships opening in U.S. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22711751/) - Americans who want to drive Smart like their European counterparts are finally getting their chance.

The flagship dealership and corporate headquarters for Smart USA were opening Thursday in the Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Hills. The dealership is one of 68 in 31 states expected to open this month to sell the 8-foot, 8-inch Smart Fortwo micro car.

When I look at these things, I do figure they are dangerous, but I think they must have airbags? They have to be a lot safer than riding a motorcycle http://www.gophergraphics.com/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I haven't seen a car yet without no air bags... you can get killed without them...

Neet little BUZZ car, I like the looks and style. Reminds me of the mini cooper only minier.

You can be killed walking down the street, and people put to much into the safe haven of airbags.

I would like to see the crash safety reports on this thing.

Small cars and low riders are not a Rednecks way. Big trucks sitting HIGH in the air is the way for me. Guess I'm just Old School.
