My brother recently returned from a business trip to Amsterdam. Here is part of his email and a scan of the vehicle...

""""""Never ceases to amaze me when I travel Europe. Laws are a
bit more lax on transport issues, Smart Car is a case in
point. These little guys are everywhere! Hit the Euro
market like the original VW Beetle hit the States. I kept
looking for a pull-cord to start them. The back window is
your headrest. I didn't ride in one, but I'd guess the
engine is the footwarmer. The seats are full-size, about
the same as a coach airline seat - only 2 of them. The body
seems to be designed around the seats because that's just
about all there is. Holland Casino is giving them as
jackpot prizes, thus the paintjob you see on this one.
Retail in Holland is NLG 20,000, about $10,000. I don't
know much about the engine, etc but they are extremely
popular, I'd guess as the first step up from a bicycle.""""""""""

P.S. That's not him in the pic... he was taking the picture.
