Sounds like a "smart" to me. According to Wikipedia you can buy one in the US.

- ck2 15y agoThe American version of the "smart" uses a 1000cc engine, not 660 like the European. My 15 year old car gets better mpg than the 2011 smart.
- tadfisher 15y agoAmerican cars need to maintain 45mph or so at a 6% grade to be allowed on many interstates. Your 15 year old car does not need to meet 2011 emissions and safety standards. edit Also, the EPA has changed to more aggressive testing procedures over the last 15 years. What was a 45MPG car in 1990 (Toyota Tercel) is now "35MPG".
