Unfortunately they're P.O.S. overpriced cars with horrible electronic recalls and software problems. Tukwila Smart dealer sells them if they have them running(which was not the case when I went to test drive one)..
Friend of mine test drove one and said for $100K this thing has road noise of an econobox , wind noise and horrible turning radius......performance isn't there either...
uppps...
Then again it is my opinion....obviously they sold some.

I saw a white one on display at Griot's last weekend and the car is immense. It looks nice overall, but it's just a massive car and not really to my liking. I think the Tesla Model S is much more my speed (and price).

What is weird to me is why is it in a Lexus lot? It has stickers on it so does this mean Lexus is selling it? Did someone trade it in? Already!?

I've seen one driving and a few at the dealer. The one I was behind on the highway had the passenger side taillight out. Had dealer plates on it too so I assume it was a new car.

I haven't driven one, but it is a sexy car in person. It's a 4-door sedan, not a sports car. IMHO, it looks better then just about every 4-door out there.

I went to Lexus of Bellevue yesterday to look at a car, and asked why they had it. Was told that they bring them to Lexus to deliver to the customers that buy them. O'Brian owns the Smart/Acura dealership in Tukwila
