The smart money is on the non-hybrid

The new 2008 Smart fortwo is poised to pull off the automotive equivalent of a hat trick. Its first crown is for being the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid car. Its second distinction is, at 2.69 metres long, it is the smallest new car on the road in Canada. To complete the hat trick, the fortwo is poised to lay claim to the title of least-expensive new car sold in Canada.
