[Vwdiesel] MB smart cars

[James Hansen]

LOL!
yeah man.

Actually, they are supposed to get 70ish normally with the 3 cyl diesel 
that we've had in Smarts in Canada for the last 5 or so years.  They 
stopped importing the diesel, and now it's just the gasser because they 
are not bringing in both gas and diesel, it's too much $$ to justify 
getting both across the EPA desk, just one or the other.... so to get 
the US market, the diesel is dropped.  EPA saves the environment 
again!!! Whew!
