Utah Likes the Smart Car? Huh?

Smart Cars to hit U.S. streets next year

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Say bye to big trucks and hello to the Smart Car. The European made vehicle will be the smallest car in the country. They go on sale next year, but already hundreds of Utahns have put in their order.

They're teeny tiny compared to the big trucks many Utahns drive. ABC 4 measured for ourselves and found it to be about 8'7" long, and 5'1" wide. But there was still plenty of room for Bruce Brittain who is 6'4". While sitting inside, Brittain says, "I have two, three inches of head space, plenty of leg space, I feel comfortable."

Now to the engine. It's small but powerful with a top speed of 90 miles per hour. Smart Car representative Steve Weisenberger says, "You gotta remember, it's half the weight of an average car so your power to weight ratio is actually really good."

The good gas mileage doesn't hurt either. Wayne Watson drives a truck, and says, "The mileage per gallon in my truck is eleven. This one's over forty miles per gallon so that there with price of gas today is why we're looking at the car."

And we can't forget about safety, especially with a car this small. Weisenberger says, "The car is designed with a steel reinforced safety cage which we call a 'tridion safety cell.'" The car also has four air bags and crumple zones.

These Smart Cars sell for $12,000 - $17,000 depending on the model. There have been over 750,000 of these cars sold in 36 countries.

The Smart Car was created by Swatch and Mercedes, so the name actually stands for Swatch - Mercedes Art.

So I pulled out the old credit card -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-ValveDock-with-Speakers.html]Fatman iTube Valve Dock[/url] and I've got to say I am an extremely happy customer. I actually listened to one at a friend's house a few months back and just couldn't get that quality out of my head because it really truly surprised me. I searched online everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I called them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Shipping was very fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Amazing sound...
