Smart Fortwo USA
Well there he is kiddies. The Smart Fortwo designed specifically for American shores will be showing up on American roads January of next year. The new Fortwo has slightly more aggressive lines to suit American tastes with a huge upgrade in safety features like four airbags, ABS and stability control. The American Fortwo grows slightly larger in size for increased cabin and trunk space and will come with an all new 1.0 liter 3-cylinder engine good enough for 84 bhp. That may sound like very little power but remember this car is very small. It doesn't take much to move it but don't worry. I'm sure the tuner market will release all sorts of goodies to make this baby go faster while still maintaining its 40 mpg rating.
The base model rings in at $11,000 with the top of the line convertible asking for $15,000. Smartusa plans on taking pre-orders this April so start saving now!

I used to have an original ForTwo, back when it was called the City-Coupé. They're fantastic fun, like little go-carts, and they still get plenty of attention here in the UK even though they've been out for years.
Am really looking forward to trying out this new version!
