Getting Smart About It

Smart car on Hummer H1

This weekend, I saw a TV ad from local car dealer Vic Alfonso advertising an H3 Hummer for $400 less than an Americanized Smart convertible.

DaimlerChrysler says that they’re going to start bringing the Smart into the US with base prices starting at $15,000, but not until 2008. You’ve gotta think that bold, innovative, forward thinking like that that comes from the Chrysler side of the company. Should be popular with the $5/gallon, irradiated gas then available from Iran.
