ZAP Smart Car Approved for Sale in the US

An anonymous reader writes "ZAP's Smart Car has officially been approved by the EPA for sale in the United States. From the article: 'It was the last major regulatory hurdle the company faced.' Finally a 60 mpg car that can go 90 mph and look cool at the same time!!"

    Opel as some corrected you already.

    Something funny/interesting about this Opel/Vauxhall stuff.. The Vauxhalls are made on mainland Europe, as the british shouldn't trust a uk-produced car ? (at least that's what I heard, don't know how much of this is true) but the general motors factories in the uk produce Opels..

    I heard from people who work for a company which ships cars across the northsea, that it's funny to see a ship come in from the UK with Opels on it, and going back filled with Vauxhalls.. (same models, just a different badge and right steering).
