SmartUSA has just announced that two Mercedes produced “smart fortwo” models will be available in the US for under $12k. That, combined with its minuscule 8.8-ft length and 5.1-ft height, make it one of the smallest, cheapest cars around. The base model doesn’t have much in the way of features (not even air conditioning), but there is a wide range of price customizations available, topping out at around $16,590 for a fully loaded vehicle.
The fortwo will also get a whopping 40+mpg fuel efficiency and a top speed of 90 mph, which makes it a very appealing choice for those looking to save a few bucks at the pump. Plus it has a pretty cool looking design. I would keep both hands on the wheel though. With a car this tiny, hitting a grocery cart in a parking lot could end up being a fatal wreck.

Mercedes Fortwo微型车------小巧,实惠,够玩命
SmartUSA公司(美国PAG分公司,Smart小型车在北美和波多黎各的独家代理)最新宣称两款Mercedes旗下的Smart Fortwo微型车将在美国面世,价格低于1.2万美元.它车身长8.8英尺(约2.68米),高5.1英尺(约1.55米),是同类车型中最小巧实惠的一种.不过这种基本款式没有太多配置(空调也没有),可是它们的价位却有得选择,装备齐全的Fortwo要超过16590美元.
Smart Fortwo每英里仅仅耗油40加仑,时速最高可达90英里,对那些渴望能节省点燃油费用的人们来说,它的确是很诱人的选择;另外它的外观设计看起来也酷极了.
不过,它这么巧小,万一在停车场一不小心撞上杂货车,说不准就沦为残骸碎片了.尽管如此,我还是非常乐意将两手放在它的方向盘上的.
