as for the diesel engine.... you do not use the hp. as much as the amount of torque that diesel produces vs the gas engine..
if gas/diesel does go to over $5 per gallon,, look for toyota/diahatsu to try to get those little pickups (now are sold only for off highway use) approved ....

The "combined" mileage for the diesel is 4.1 l/100km, ~57mpg. The gas version 4.6 l/100km, ~51mpg. (And, FWIW, to get mpg from l/100km, divide by 235.)

That pic posted of it modded is a chop. But it does look good. Hmm I wonder how they'd do.

I see no reason why it shouldn't be sold over here if Diamler-Chrysler is going to sell the Smart in a year or two. What's the Hp ?

It was fun to see how tough they can be when slammed around chasing the ball, e-brake pull to steal the ball from an opponent, etc.

I'd look at them as a replacement for our 1998 Civic. My wife's commute is 15 min on nothing but city streets. This would be a good mode of transportation for us.
