I saw one of these the other day on the road while biking up 19th Street. They look sooo cool. If it has any sort of trunk space, this would be perfect for grocery shopping. Anyone want to buy me one? ;-)

Oh I so want one too! :-) 'Course the only problem with the Sparrow would be that it could be very easily dwarfed and not seen by the current incarnation of land yachts populating the roadways. I suspect that is part of the reason for SUV popularity - one SUV begets more of the cursed beasties under the guise of safety thru size... (heh size queens)

But I digress... :-)

Eh, I'd only be driving it in town where they're limited in their speed, so not as much of an issue. I did like how the petrol motor version is technically a motorcycle, so you can drive it in the HOV lanes. :)

Someone in DC drives one to work and parks it every day at 18th and G NW.

Bright yellow? Prolly the same one I saw at 18th and Columbia the other day.

those are darling. yum!

i fell in love with these (http://www.thesmart.co.uk/) in Paris. not as radically unique looking as the sparrow or merlin, but still pretty cool.

That's so cute. :) Now why can't they make these things for the US market? :-p

[settsimaksimin.livejournal.com]

i think it says somewhere on their website that they're currently working on getting them approved for the US marked. they're manufactured by Chrystler, if i remember correctly.

Ayuh, Daimler-Chrysler. Cooley. Perfect size for cities and commuting.
