Wait a minute....30mpg city? My Civic Hatch beat that 15 years ago. So, if they don't have the high efficiency engine, why buy one? Looks alone? Sigh...perhaps, when they imported it the should have renamed it from the "Smart Car" to the "Just Average, but Cute". Does the international market really think Americans are all superficial, no substance?
