That car would sell like crazy in the US what is wrong with them. An econmical roadster not only would econo-box drivers want one i see that it would sell rather well to teenage buyers.

 

The US don't allow them because of "safety Reasons". Besides the same safety reasons you would encounter in a Pontiac Soltice or a Miata as far as being small, there is no reason. That small Smart car have a cool look that would but them eco-boxes out of buisness and be another hard blow to the US auto makers and the ones that pays them off. They want to sell it in the US but the US is asking them to basically ruin the car to give the other US/JapAmerican pieces of junk a fighting chance.

The price for one of them is around $15,000 Eur new. So either way, it will be well under $25,000 with all the taxes, and other so called expenses that they charge us. That would really put a dent in the US small car industry.

 

I like how u put JapAmerican cause any completely japan made car is still very expensive for the size and options category its in a pefect example is the Subaru Impreza excellent car 95% made in japan and base price is in the 18-19 range when other cars such as the Civic or Coralla or Cobalt all go for 14-16 base

 

The Smart Roadster is NO longer produced..it would have sold great here in the states..But the ONLY smarts we will get will be the ForTwo..

BTW I Know that a Roadster is Here in The States...LOL
