Smart fortwo roadster sports car... will it come back?

Smart built a very cool little two seater roadster. Before the Smart fortwo was brought to America, Smart decided to stop production of their little roadster. Will it come back? Have a look at other Smart stuff at www.smartusa.com

It is possible to import one to the US. You just have to take it completely apart, ship to the US, rebuild it, and register it as a kit car.

If you're lucky a certain number of roadster made it to the US and you could check ebay, craigslist, or whatever to see if someone does not want theirs.

Seeing as I've never done this before, What does it mean when you say completely disassemble? I'm not asking jokingly, do you mean down to every nut and bolt including tearing down the engine?

I saw one for sale on Ebay for $9k. It was in California.

I'm sure it sold. Too bad the FEDS are cracking down so much on cars being registered as "kit" cars like they recently did with Skyliners in Cali.

I'm getting a fortwo... I read the comment about the price in gas in europe THAT'S INSANE!

3.75L=1gal

$2.45=$9.18

That's freaking inanity...

It's back down in the US though to 1.50/gal

But, that little car is too awesome to pass up.

But, I would definitely have bought a roadster if it was available.

maybe just maybe once they start building Smarts in the US, they might add the Roadster back into the mix again.

From what I hear all you have to do I separate the engine and its components from the car and ship both the car and the engine in 2 different containers and put it together on shore.

87 octane is $4.00 US, 95 is easily $4.35 in central Florida. If you go to California, the prices are much closer to $5.00 per gallon. It is very much putting a strangle hold on the throats of people, especially those in lower income homes. Cars like this, that are affordable and economical should have been available 10 years ago in the US. Lets hope they are here within 1 or 2 years from US manufacturers.
