Hybrid Cars

Going straight for the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf jugular, the new Smart ForTwo Electric Drive promises to heat up the impending EV wars. Set to hit the streets in October, the 2011 Smart ForTwo aims to grace the paid parking slot for every fashion-tastic urbanite across this land (or at least this land’s blue-tinged perimeter).

Of course, at a lease-only price of $599/month ($29K total), it’s probably a smart move that Smart plans to only import 250 of these electro-runabouts. But of course, with the eco-cache that the Smart brand commands, you can bet all 250 are accounted for by those aforementioned urbanites.
