Smart Roadster in Canada
I saw this a couple of weeks ago driving along Granville St In Vancouver British Columbia. It was a bit of a shock to see.

It's a little blurry but looks to have european plates - am I right? Very strange to see something like that here. I wonder why someone carted it over.

Yeah it had euro plates. Sorry for the blurryness but I was taking pictures while my mom was driving and she didn't understand instructions like "slow down"

Why, you see a lot of them Cotterik? I didn't think that they were popular cars really.

I saw one at a tech demonstration once. GE was using it as an example of Lexan technology.
Yep, it uses lexan body panels.

Indeed. I'd say I see one every two days or so.. The plates on this one seem to be German,likely from Stuttgart (first letter S ?), the hometown of Mercedes. Perhaps indeed a show model or something from the company ?

Well the blurryness adds a sense of speed... Looks like you were racing him or something. Looks better than the smart car coupe or cabriolet at least.
As for the plates I see all kinds of euro plates where I live like German etc. I guess its because soldiers stationed in Europe buy cars and then get stationed back here in Canada so they bring their cars along. Looks funny to see a euro plate on the front and a regular license plate from our province on the back.
Another strange car I seen vacationing here had a Montana plate on the front and a California plate on the back.

It looks like a German-registered Smart Roadster.

The Roadster, Roadster-Coupe and Forfour have all been discontinued due to a lack of sales.

Congratulations on being the third person to note they are European plates. You've won a big bag of air ! :D
