    Third-gen Smart Fortwo Electric available in early 2012; will price drop from $44,387? — Autoblog Green

    If this is accurate, are they fricking nuts? This is utter FAIL!

    Who on earth would pay the above instead of getting a Leaf? The ABG article links to Smart ForTwo Electric Available for $599 Lease Now, Purchase in 2012 - KickingTires and mentions a 63 mile combined city and highway range and a max speed of 62.5 mph. :eek:

    They might have a tough time even moving those 250...

    The Smirk car; a car that MB never wanted to make and it showed. Now the reluctance is carried over to the next gen Smirk car and the EV model. Roger Penske should stay in racing old man, something that he was good at.
