Comments for WORLD’S MOST ECONOMICAL CAR IS NOT AVAILABLE IN US at http://www.greatcarstv.com , comment 0 to 6 out of 6 comments http://www.greatcarstv.com Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:58:03 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.greatcarstv.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=526&Itemid=247#pc_180 Still, the question is WHY no diesel here? The much larger and higher poluting M530 CDI is sold here today with our new tough emission requirements, so there is no technical reason a tiny CDI would not meet the tests with the SAME engineers (M-B) I've driven the Smart CDI in Michigan more than once - GREAT car. Needs to be sold here. Write letters to Zieter Zetsche, CEO Daimler AG 70546 Stuttgart Germany - Diesel.Arb Tue, 17 Feb 2009 12:53:04 +0100 http://www.greatcarstv.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=526&Itemid=247#pc_145 The confusion comes from the fact that the imperial gallon is significantly larger than the U.S. gallon, MPG figures are 20.095% higher in the UK than in the U.S. for the same real fuel economy. I factored in the difference when calculating the mpg for the Smart in the US. But you're right, these other cars offer more room and power but not better fuel economy than a diesel powered Smart. - gctvadmin Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:08:06 +0100 http://www.greatcarstv.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=526&Itemid=247#pc_144 Something doesn’t seem quite right here. According to this web site: http://cars.uk.msn.com/greenmotoring/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1379476 All the cars on this list are superior to this smart car. It looks like all 10 of these cars carrying four passengers which make them much better than the smart car that only Carries two. In addition, the top three carry four passengers and have better fuel economy. So what’s the deal? Am I missing something? JCE http://johnceberhardt.wordpress.com/ - John C.

I also understand this vehicle is less than $10,000 u.s. with all options. Please someone tell me why? - kerry otterstrom Wed, 06 Aug 2008 12:38:11 +0100 http://www.greatcarstv.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=526&Itemid=247#pc_61 This is a game changing vehicle. But they shouldn't stop with just the diesel --- bring in the all electric smart two too. People would respond to these like crazy. Let's tell Daimler that that would be really smart. - Michael Rose -- Publisher Sat, 17 May 2008 07:22:40 +0100 http://www.greatcarstv.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=526&Itemid=247#pc_55 would like to test the car travel 150 miles per day to go and come to work fedex driver need a way to save going broke trying to keep my job only in america that we shoot are selfs in the foot gas is a problem for the common middle class working people billonares do something to help the world give us change for the future - layton beasley Wed, 07 May 2008 19:25:20 +0100
