ps 1 Euro = $1.25, so this Bentley was going for around $431,250

The Smart cars have some tiny engine which I think is up front. I even saw a couple of diesel versions. MOst of the cars in Italy are small because the streets are narrow and parking is at a premium. I'd say 1 in 12 or 15 cars was one of those Smart cars. They are made by different manufacturers and I even saw some with Mercedes logos on them. I saw a lot of minis, VW Golfs, Fiats, Lancias, Ford Focus, and Opels. The PT Cruiser is a big hit over there too.

The Smarts are 3 cyl turbo RR cars 
The whole drivetrain sits under the trunk floor.
When I was in Santa Cruz, one of the local businessmen had a Smart here somehow, for running around town. Cool little car.
Alan, next time you buy a Bentley, wanna grab a Leg Turbo for me while you're at it? Thanks
It's sobering to think that the *luxury tax* on that car is more than any of our cars cost new......
