Smart Fortwo

The Smart Fortwo becomes available in the U.S. in early 2008. This quintessentially urban car uses a rear-mounted, one-liter, three-cylinder engine that puts out 84 horsepower. The transmission is a five-speed automated manual, using a computer-controlled clutch to shift gears. The Smart averages 40mpg and can be parked perpendicular to the curb on most streets.
