If I could afford that ZR1 (or a Corvette in general), there would have been one in my driveway yesterday.
As for the smart car, I'd actually roll one of those for the commute. When I go to clubs and other social events though, I'd roll my regular ride.

I had a 2005 SVT Focus 5-door...the first and last year for the 5-door SVT because they disco'd the SVT after that model year. Mine was #486 out of 1200 or so production run. Fun car but I traded it in for a Nissan XTerra a little over a year later so I could have more room for gear when camping.
Followed some of the Focus sites while I owned one. Everyone was jonesing for the ST and bemoaning the fact that Ford would never bring it over.
Ford and GM need to wake up and bring some of their Euro market vehicles over here...they'd retake some market share. The Big-3 are too busy catering to the American appetite for bigger and bigger SUVs and trucks when they should be going down the road of better gas mileage and, gasp, smaller and smaller cars.
Ford tried this in the 80's with the Mercury Merkur XR4Ti which didn't do so well...it's time to try again.

They apparently did this to cut down on costs to produce the vehicles. Plus the build quality has improved as well. Check out the Saturn Vetra and Opel Vetra...they're the same car.
Now, when GM brings over the Chinese market only Buick Park Avenue...

Ah, BUT, you guys don't have the same fuel costs as we do
An imperial Gallon (8 Pints) at UK £4.75 costs roughly US $9.27 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Based on a price of UK £ 1.04/litre
