Rome, Italy - On the streets of Italy and most likely all over Europe, the Smart car has taken over. I have seen this car on the web many times, but to actually stand next to one and see it zipping throughout the tight streets of Rome and Florence was impressive. If you take it out of those tight streets and place it on an L.A. freeway next to massive gas-guzzling SUV's, it looks ridiculous! One thing that got me interested were the different permutations of the Smart Car--I literally saw hundreds of these over there and not many of them were exactly the same. In our efforts to "Go Green" in L.A., it might be a while before we see hundreds of these on our freeways--and with how inept drivers are out here, it would just be too dangerous!

I saw these Smart Cars when I visited Europe back in 2003, so the Europeans are way ahead of the game far as trying to be fuel efficient. We're really behind here in the US.
