$1 says my 6'6" frame doesn't fit in one.

According to ZAP's website the Smart 3cyl turbo 6speed gets 60mpg

How much do these little cars cost? I've looked everywhere, but can't find a price.
If it's more than $10,000, I bet most people would be better off buying a used Civic or Corolla.

but it says americanized in the first post, but doesn't say what that means. does it mean it has to be able to maintain highway speeds? that'd drop gas mileage a bit.

4. How much does the Smart Car Americanized by ZAP cost?
The Smart Car Americanized by ZAP will be available through selected auto dealers. The cars come with a multitude of options, accessories and sub-models, so prices may vary subject to options and availability. Our initial supply includes many with luxury features, so pricing may be in the $25,000 range

SOOOOO not worth it!!
