Rated as one of the most fuel efficient non-hybrid vehicles in the U.S by the EPA, the 2009 smart fortwo arrives from Europe, where it has enjoyed an amazing popularity for the last ten years, thanks to its small size, perfectly suited for narrow streets and even narrower parking spaces. The rear-wheel-drive fortwo measures just under 9 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 5 feet tall, coming in at 40 inches shorter than the MINI Cooper and 6 feet shorter than the Honda Civic. Smart claims that you can fit two fortwo cars into one normal-size parking space! Its small size and small engine produce hybrid-like fuel economy, and its eco-friendly ways extend to its engineering. Around 95% of its body parts come from recycled materials, and the dash is built entirely of flax. Its plant in Smartville, France has also been rated one of the greenest factories in the world.
