Well the fortwo is suposedly coming to the US in 2007. I suspect they'll bring
the forfour (horrid) down there, too.
There is a ~5 month waiting list in Canada for a fortwo cdi. I don't want
anyone to take my idea for a custom licence plate if I get a black/cream pure,
so I'm not going to tell you what it will be!
Although if I got a green/black pulse, I think "MINTCHIP" would be adorable.

I think my body would shut down and I'd fall over dead before ever stepping foot
in something as needlessly large as that.
I just watched a segment on a British car show (Fifth Gear) on crashing a smart.
They took a fortwo pure and rigged it to be driven with RC controls. I should
burn it to DVD. They drove it into a concrete wall at 115 km/h.
It... made me feel ill.
