Hawaii Likes Smart Cars

Hawaii smart car

It wasn’t suprised when I read an article in Pacific Business News that smart cars were selling well in Hawaii. After all, Hawaii residents seem to be more in tune with our national surroundings then our counter parts on the mainland. It was a bit of a shocker, thought, that these tiny autos would be making such a splash in an industry that has fallen 31.5% in the “Aloha State”.

Whenever I see something like this in business (the market as a whole tanking and a segment of that same market flourishing) it tells me we are witnessing a huge shift within that industry.

Even me, somebody who drives a huge 4×4 truck to carry surfboards, mountain bikes, does occasional yard work and takes his family camping on the beach, is thinking of getting a smart car. This video shows a smart car that would drive down the beach easily. I wonder if they have trailer attachements or make one with a bed to carry my toys?

    Hawaii should really use smart cars because Hawaii has to stay close to nature. It would also promote nature-loving vehicles around Hawaii Island and people will start using more and more of smart cars eventually helping not only Hawaii but the whole mother Earth recover from its damage.
