The tiny city cars made by Mercedes-Benz started out as a novelty and developed a cult following. But in the end not enough people were prepared to pay a premium for a 'four-wheeled scooter'.The world's smallest car, the Smart ForTwo, will soon be withdrawn from sale locally because Australians aren't prepared to pay a premium for a city runabout.Priced from $18,990 drive-away the Smart car costs almost as much as a Toyota Corolla but is half the size and only has two seats.
