Cool smart car

I saw 1 of these smart cars today while we were out shopping,
and it was a quite a hit with every person passing by...
even people who would normally never be interested in cars!
we were driving our Hyundai though, so there were no HHRs around to look at!
anyhow, what do you think of these cars?
I think it is quite interesting to look at, but I don't know if I could ever drive 1!
they aren't even scheduled for a U.S. release 'til '08, but someone managed to get one a little early!

I could see using it as a local errand car. Run to the store type of thing. But not as a daily driver.

I wouldn't be caught dead in one! I can't imagine what it would be like to drive along side or behind an 18 wheeler in one.
