The distributor of Smart cars in the U.S. today said that the 10,000th Smart fortwo has been received at the Smart Center in Bloomington, Minnesota. Smart began shipping fortwo models, currently the manufacturer’s only model offered in the U.S., six months ago.
The smart fortwo went on sale in the United States in January 2008, and is available at 69 smart centers in 31 states, the distributor said. Prices for the tiny two-seater start at $11,590.

That seems pretty high. I wouldn't be interested in one of these as a commuter unless they were under 10K. I know smaller is more expensive in the tech world, but I don't feel the same applies to cars.
And it isn't as fuel efficient as the size would suggest; half the size of a normal car but only marginally more fuel efficient. I'd rather have a Civic, Golf, or Mazda 3 as commuter car than this death trap.
geeee, freaking EURO doesnt want to solve the gas problem instead they want to drive marginal gas saving cars which are not worth it, and consider death traps!
I wouldnt want to get hit by a suburban with that death mobile.
worth $4k extra for a corolla to save a life FTW.
Its a little pricey for what it is, but remember, its made by Mercedes. Also, small != death trap.
The "freaking EURO" have been driving safe and small cars since ages that have better MPG than some hybrids. Don't blame them for their low fuel consumption since ever while we just woke up to the problem. It's much safer than you think. http://www.greencar.com/features/smart-car/
