I saw one of those here about a month ago. It was soo tiny - yet quite cool looking. I'd love to take one out for a spin.

I want one so BAD! for $11k i think its a good price!
but it needs some more power, 100 hp would be GREAT! 0-60 in 13 secs that is just horrible and dangerous for the real world driving |

There is a Smart here for sale, used with 5k, and they want $22,500 for it. A new Passion R costs $30k!! There's no way I'd pay that much for one.

any turbos for that thing yet?!
1600 lbs with a couple of hp more should make that thing fly just like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV1zQMcSsk0 |

Forget S2000. Just put a GSXR1000 engine and have fun. Videos on youtube.

I'd consider one. I only drive about 5-6 miles a day during the week so it would be perfect.
I'll have to wait about 6 months for the price jacking to slow down but $11k isn't bad (then again the new Accent is cool and less cash). -Mike. Last edited by mpaone; 02-23-2007 at 03:50 PM. Reason: speeling |

They've been buzzing around up here in Canada for a few years now. It was pretty weird to see them at first (it's really comical when you see these things driving by large SUV's!), but now they're pretty common. I'm kinda jealous that these guys are getting like 50mpg!!

Yes, the ones you see on the road are legalized european cars. There is a great effort to hustle these off the market before Mitsubishi brings them to the US, as a lot of money was invested legalizing and importing them.
edit: these are the first gen fourtwos you are seeing, the smaller one in the pics above. The newer ones arent on the road in NA yet. |

that car is definitately insta-death if you get into an accident 60mph or more, and i bet the side impact is even worse, no thanks, if i'm gonna drive a car with ****ty crash test ratings, it'd better be fast

I saw one the other day on my way home. No thanks. It looks ok, but no way would I want to be in an accident in one.

Why is DC bringing it here? Don't they already have enough cars that don't make money?
