From this morning's Yahoo News: "Three models will be available: The Pure with optional air conditioning starts at $11,000; the better-equipped Passion will cost $13,000 and the Convertible will be $15,000. A Brabus version with more power will be presented at the Geneva show in March. Roger Penske's UnitedAuto Group will be the exclusive distributor in the U.S., and they will be taking orders in about two months on their Web site, www.smartusa.com."
If the Smart coupe sells well, there may be a four-door and a speedster / sports variant in the near future, too.

Luminous is right. Just a 2-seater and a convertible for now. I like the styling and the idea of a micro car has a lot going for it. But it seems like these cars are very expensive for what you get. I would drive one of these if it got 60 or 70 mpg, but these only get 40. I could buy a corolla or yaris for the same money, get the same gas mileage and get a whole lot more car. I just don't think these are going to be a big hit unless the price goes way down, the mpg's go way up, or both.
