Tiny Car to Hit the Roads

A new car is coming to town and it's smaller than anything on the road, reports Julia Scott of the Daily News.

The two-seater smart fortwo is 104 inches long, half the size of a typical SUV. It zips along up to 90 mph and parallel parking is a no-brainer.

In Europe, where gas can top $6 a gallon, the fortwos have been popular for the past decade. But will the car - so small its official spelling uses the diminutive lower case - find buyers here?

Some 12,000 people across the country have already put down $99 refundable deposits. The basic Pure goes for $12,000, the Passion starts at $14,000 and the Cabrio is $17,000. Read it all HERE.

As we shame SUV and Hummer drivers for buying unnecessarily large cars, is this little tyke the wave of the future? Would you buy one? How many circus clowns could fit into this thing? Tell our blog!
