Would You Buy A Smart ForTwo For $11,590?

With all the other small cars on the market for few more thousand dollars (Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris), would you be interested in buying a Smart Car for almost $12,000? As much as I was excited when I learned these were coming to the States, now that I have found out the price, I am not so thrilled. Is it cool? Yes. Does it get good gas mileage? Yes. Does it fit more than 2 people? No.
Honestly, I think they should have gone for a lower price on this one. I would have loved to have bought one as an in-town ride for cheap, but at $12,000, they kinda lost me. What do you think?

Do you want them to give the car away? What a fun little car to drive, just cant get the smile off my face when I test drove.

i would pay 12k if it held 4 people… but for 12 k I can get a used (yay for used) honda civic. Sure it runs on gas, but the mileage is good, it goes farther, holds more people and did I mention USED? as in not adding to the waste stream?
I would pay 8k or 9k for a two seater electric. Especially if I get a tax break for it being a green alternative.

That’s what I think they should cost, about 8 or 9 thousand, not 12. Used is certainly best!
