Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the...Smart car

Mercedes-Benz's "pint-sized" car is picking up interest on and off the web from bloggers of all demographic areas. For a refundable $99, you can actually reserve a place in "line" for one of these vehicles as they are quickly rolling off the US assembly lines targeting the unsurprising major metropolitan areas such as NYC, San Francisco, Boston, and Los Angeles. Already a native of Europe, this car has already achieved astronomical success. With unbearable traffic, narrow cobble-stone roads, and an open-armed view towards these cars, they've fit right in and done more than well at that. It won't be long until, I predict, a green-minded city like San Francisco will be adopting these smart cars. But is the rest of the United States ready for this 71 HP, 1 L, 3 Cy BEAST? Look out for this little rival rolling onto the streets in packs. For more, check out Wired Magazine's "Hands-On Review" of the Smart.
