I've never seen one before except in Gran Turismo. Yes, I know it's a video game but it wasn't something I'd ever drive in real life.
Why not a del Sol? I love mine and they're already here in America. They're made by Honda and they have the removable hard top. I think the engine is a lot larger.

as of a few months ago there were 7 beats imported to n america, reason enough not to see them on the road but the reason to own one.

DelSol... i own one, great car. my daily driver is a 92 civic-vx tho.

The Civic VX hatchback was the other car I was considering when I got enough to afford my own car.
Well, good luck.

Very safe too. Even though its about half the size of my old Cavalier, I'd much rather be in the Smart car, I'd be 10x times as likely to walk away from an accident.

If you're willing to do the footwork, you could probably have one imported.

I like the Honda Fit/Jazz myself. It's a practical little car.

1979 Chevy Pickup. I like realistic wishes.

I almost got an 86 K10. Wanted the 86 because I like the stacked headlights better, and the 87 was fuel injected, the 86 was carbed.

There's probably a reason why the Integra is cheaper than a del Sol. :) They're way more fun and are a lot rarer which is what it seems the OP is looking for.

And when it comes to the ladies (for you single guys), there is no method of birth control more effective than the Smart Car.

Why, cause it's ugly or because there's no back seat? :)

Wow I could never go for any of these cars. Way too small for me. I'm used to Cadillacs and Ext. Bed Pick ups with V8s. Don't know what I'm going to do when I can't afford gas anymore. The shortest wheel base car I own is my 65' Mustang.
