Surely everyone has heard of the Smart Car? Well, its coming to the US next year. It is made by Mercedes so crash tests are of a high standard, and has been on European roads for a decade. It’s a two seater, and does 60 miles to the gallon, and is so small, it can park nose first into the curb. http://www.smartusa.com/ I owned one and although it doesn’t exactly drive like a Mercedes, it’s fun, and certainly up to the task.
