Are they ever going to start selling "smart cars" in the US?

I've read about the popular European smart car lately. I was wondering why they don't start selling them in the US? And if they are going to, when?

    We've had them here in Canada for quite some time now (and I've read that they're doing quite well...I'd think so, too, from the huge number of them I've seen in my own city), so I doubt it'll be too much longer before they're released in the States. You could always come up here and buy one, too ;)

    I believe they're supposed to start selling them in the United States in 2008. Interesting little car. Consumer Reports hates it, Road and Track loves it. Russell Crowe drove one in "A Good Year".

    I'm actually starting to see them here in the DC suburbs. I rented one in Italy and drove it all day thru Tuscany and the gas gauge never moved. It was actually comfortable for a big guy like me. I've heard they are a joint effort between Mercedes and SWATCH (the watch people!). It's a good little commuter car, I just wouldn't want to get into an accident in one!

    Why sell smart cars to stupid people?

    We have had them in this country for years (Sweden) and

    they are doing very well but rather expensive.

    Maybe they will not do so well in the US - they may offend

    the US male`s rather frail self-esteem.
