Google's driverless car.

I have a little situation. The question is should I buy a new car or a used car? I know there are pros and cons for each.
I just test drove a smart car
It was awesome. I’m a little sad about the lack of stick shift, but the paddle shift was kinda cool. I dunno. I feel like test drives are never enough time to get a feel for a car.
Wishing for $6 gas
I pose a few questions for discussion: How high do gas prices get before there’s a massive sell-off of SUVs and large cars? Will the American roads look more like European roads (lots and lots of compact cars, a few sedans, rarely anything larger) within our lifetimes? Will you be able to adjust to eating more seasonal foods (e.g., not getting tomatoes year-round)? If the answers are “something soon like $6 a gallon,” “yes,” and “sure,” respectively, is the rising cost in gasoline a good thing?
Why can't I buy a compact diesel car?
