I'd buy a diesel version if it was available in the US.
95mpg is fabulous.

I was looking them over at the local Mercedes dealership here. The turbo
diesel sits on the back axle and it's a rear wheel drive. 6 speed stick or
paddle shift. It's a cool little car. I was pricing one of the convertible
models with leather seats, A/C, power windows etc.... 23K Cdn.

I think that's about $3,247 US.

It's the fuel and manoeuvrability aspect for in city driving that really
caught my interest.

It's the inability to run at normal road speeds for long that caught my
attention.

Put a "USA Sucks" bumper sticker on that toy and drive it around Texas,
pardner.

That's a stupid idea Max... everyone knows Texans are illiterate! Maybe
you meant .....tie a clubbed seal to the back and drag the carcass thru
California?

I was thinking more like tying a clubbed Cannuck to the rear bumper and
dragging him through downtown Manhattan. You'd probably get a Nobel prize
for something-or-other for that.

This is what I'm lookin' at buyin'......

It's gay.

Higher gas prices will mean less dependence on foreign oil, incentives
for new technologies and people will drive less. I don't understand why
the liberals are crying.

... it's 4ltrs/100km at 70mph with 6 speed paddle shifter & a 40hp diesel
engine. Excellent crash test rating and polymer exchangeable body panels.
I already have a sufficient fleet of V8, V6 4x4 and all wheel
trucks/SUVs. I want a small car that's cheap on fuel.... this thing is
fricken Cool!

I watched one of these negotiate traffic the other day and find a place
to park in a full lot. The guy got to the booze store and was back on the
road before I even made the turn into the parking lot.

It isn't and won't be available in the USA ...and Liberals always cry!

I concur. I have a manly pickup truck for hauling ammunition and animal
carcasses and a 44 mpg hwy compact for driving to the florist and gay
bars.

Would someone mind explaining why LP was attracted to self-admitted gay Mr.
Crantz?

Nothing like a truck to run American anti-sealing activists off the
road... but since being gay is legal up here... we don't have "Gay Bars".

It's legal down here, too. Oh, wait--I'll bet you didn't mean shooting 'em.
Never mind.

Asked my 15 yr. old what he thought, and he said it looked "pretty
gay"..........

That'll clinch the deal for Mooron.

Hmmmmm.... they drove one across Canada at highway speeds. You shouldn't
have any problems since your country is smaller.

Violence seems a trait you Americans hold dear.... but hate to see anyone
else employ.

Don't be 'jelious' Max.... Mr. Crantz no doubt appears Manly in any
endeavour he pursues.... take pride in the fact you look gay in every
pursuit you undertake.
