bigpoppanils Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 but it will be FWD, not RWD like it is in Europe it will be front engined, not mid-engined (also like it is in Europe)the economical turbo 3 cyl and 6 speed paddleshift manual transmission wont make it here either.the US-spec Smart Roadster will use Mitsubishi 4 cylinder engines and a Mitsubishi 4-speed automatic. the only positive thing about the US model is that AWD will be optional. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeg Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 why'd they even bother keeping the same name... its a totally different car...which 4cyl engine is it using?4g63 would give it some redeaming quality... but fwd is a buzzkill.... if it was RWD with the 4g63 and the paddle shifters, THAT would be a phat car.... especially midengine...ugh... chalk up ANOTHER car being fucked up on import to the US...
