If they sold them here for 5300, I would buy one tomorrow. And I want mine in glow in the dark green please.

I'd probably just ride a bicycle to work if I lived that close. Might need to do something else in the winter though.

The problem with a lot of city cars like the Spark and smart fourtwo is their pricepoints are up near the subcompacts and compacts, so people automatically have the "Well if I spend a bit more I can just get a bigger Sonic" thought. This thing is priced so cheaply it's almost one of those things people buy just to buy.
I paid close to that for a golf cart. Even my lawn mower was $4k.

Would be an interesting option for a teen driver to drive locally for school, work, store or friends house.

6K and I'm in....It makes more financial sense, 6K/96 miles compared to, what, 30-40K for a 2-300 mile range...? For short around town distances, it's perfect, and the chance of breaking even by not having to buy gasoline is more attractive than buying something I may never break even with the purchase price of in my lifetime....

Offer a golf bag rack, and get approval to use it as your own personal golf cart, and it would be a best seller for sure....

It is certainly interesting looking. You don't need it to be huge to be an inner city commuter car. I think it would take off in US cities.

2 wheels? Yes, very hard. 5 wheels? Much easier:

Just a little insight into the luxury car market right now...

22% of May's Infiniti sales went to rental fleet.
Average incentives on 3-series were close to $12k.

Basically, Cadillac sedan sales may be in the toilet but at least they're making money off of the few they sell.

And doesn't Caddy have the highest ATP of any 'normal' luxury brand (ie, BMW, Mercedes, etc ... not Rolls-Royce & Bently)?

reasonably low incentives + high-value product mix = $$$$$$$
