I don't know of any us versions that were hybrids and definitely not selling for that much! The vehicle price is set by smart when you order it, dealers CAN NOT mark up the car at all. check out the smart facts on their website, it's pretty impressive stuff, the car is actually 95% recyclable ...pretty good if your looking or a "green lifestyle transo".
