Diesel Smart Car?

Do they make a diesel smart car? Seems like a diesel engine could be a good way to get more mileage out of the car.

They do, but it's not sold in the US because of emissions regulations. It was available in Canada a few years ago, but again new emissions laws killed it; now they only get the same gas engine Stupid ForTwo that we get.

The Canadian-issue diesels cannot be imported to the US

I myself am very interested in a diesel smart as well. Discussions around the web mention diesel smarts with Mercedes’ Bluetec technology called the smart CDI operating in Europe and elsewhere. I keep salivating watching YouTube videos of people driving and enjoying their CDI smarts. I also understand we won't get these in 2009 in the US, so maybe they can make it in 2010. Fingers crossed.
