Newly opened just next door to my local Hummer dealer is a Smart dealer. I am not making this up. The symbol of American vehicular excess now next door to the symbol of Euro frugality.
Well, yes, it manages, at least in the gasoline model we'll be able to get here, to burn more fuel than my four-door-plus-ample-trunk Prius, without even being cheap, either. You could park it in a tiny place, though generally in the US any place you could legally park you could fit one of those Hummers in, so that doesn't really matter, either. Still, whatever it is, it's about as different from a Hummer as can be. And we mostly can't get any of the cars you think of as Euro-frugal, so it's the best symbol we've got :)
