Smart Fortwo Steals The Show

Granted, the Philadelphia International Auto Show is not Detroit, where the elite of the car world gather.

But still, the show's star was not a Hummer or an SUV, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, but a tiny green car: The Smart Fortwo.

With gasoline hovering near or above $3 in most of the country, and having flirted with $4 not so long ago, the Fortwo is attracting green buyers as well as the merely thrifty. The car gets 33 mpg and costs as little as $11,590. The diminutive two-seater is easy to park, to boot.
