The success of the Smart Car in Europe is almost totally based on high gas prices but I would also imagine its because SUV's in big European cities do not exist.

I was in Rome in Summer '06 & was surprised at the number of Jeep Grand Cherokee's & Grand Caravans (both Turbo Diesel) that were there. Also gasoline Chrysler 300 Hemi's, PT Cruisers & the odd Jeep. Chrysler was the only North American company I noticed. Probably sold through MB dealers?
