As promised, here's some pics of my mom's '08 Smart Fortwo Passion - we took delivery last Saturday, and I uploaded the pics that day, but with all the excitement of my personal re-delivery, I got so caught up in 1er excitement.

I put 150mi on her Smart already, its a great city car and commuter car. My only complaint is not the size of the car, or ease of driving. Actually I have 2 complaints. The brake pedal requires too much effort to stop the car. The brakes are good, but the brake pedal feels like there is no assist whatsoever. Also the suspension is pretty stiff. If you drive in Northern New Jersey, you need to invest in the extra $395 wheel/tire road hazard warranty.

Other than that, its a nice little car. The color makes it appear exotic. I've caught quite a few people staring, some laughing, but I laughed all the way to the bank seeing that in 150mi, i've only used 3/8 gallons and during this I hit 85mph.
