These are the so-caled ZAP smarts, 2002-2005 low-ish mileage used cars from Europe, because smart gmbh won't sell them new ones.

They're converted by G&K in CA USA and so far they've done around 100 cars. they're gasoline-powered, unlike the CDN cars, which are all direct injection diesels.

The cost is quite high compared to the official ones we get in Canada, which are about 45% cheaper.

There is a fair chance that about one year from now, US citizens will be able to buy a factory supported smart fortwo from a M-B or Penske dealer.
