A hybrid still might be good in the 'burbs. But, probably not for someone like me. I roll to stops at traffic lights (I really don't understand the guy who races ahead of me, just to wait at the red light longer). I maintain a decent following distance. I try to avoid needing to use my brakes. I even put the car in a lower gear, going downhill.
I love those little Smart cars. I just don't want to drive one in North America. Even if it does have lots of safety, it's going to act like a billiard ball if it gets hit by something big.
