From what I have read the smart roadster is a nice pure little driving machine, which at least in Germany is a little bit cheaper than a MX5. Besides this the MX5 is quite outdated and not very fashionable anymore. I think this is very important for certain buyers.

AFAIK the smart crossblade is limited to 25.000 units. They decided to make the car, because prospective buyers showed a lot of interest for a prototype displayed at a motor show. The crossblade is roughly twice as expensive as an ordinary smart city coupé. This price seems reasonable, as the crossblades are mainly handmade by german coachbuilder Binz. The original idea of smart inventor Nicolas Hayek was to make the smart a collectible car, which people would treat like a fashion item. I think this plan failed: Even the crossblade is not regarded as a collectible item (maybe 25.000 cars are too much to make it rare).

I am sure that you can buy a crossblade, if you want one.

In Germany the Smart Roadster begins roughly at

Fashion is the only reason for people buy these cars.

Aren`t that 2000 cars only?
