I heard that Mercedes plan to bring the 4 seats version of the Smart car
to the US very soon.

Subject: Back from Berlin [some Vanagon content]

Well, I made it back just in time to experience Hurricane Frances.
Nothing like a 9 hour plane ride and then putting up hurrican shutters
(great way to cure jet lag though!). I was nice to see so many Vanagons
running around!  Even at the Tegel Airport on the Tarmac, Vanagons were
everywhere! On the other hand, I saw so many Smart cars, I wish I could
get one here! (www.smart.com)  These little cars, made by Mercedes, were
perfect for city commuters! Anyway, glad to be back, but I certainly do
miss the bier over there, and it's just amazing how much Berlin has
changed.  Oh, and what can I say about the food, I love the NO ATKINS
diet :-)  Germans are mind kinda people in the old food department. Back
to your regularly scheduled programming.....
