| Yes, we all have concerns being confronted with an SUV while in a small car. But $3.00 plus gas will necessitate thrifty autos. For example take a look at the Mitsubishi i in the June 12 issue of Autoweek. Yes I am expecting M/B will import the Smart, and soon. | |
| DCX will formally announce on 6/27/06 that the Smart for two will be available for sale in U.S. in 2007. | |

Replying to: deaner14 (Sep 29, 2005 11:44 am) The Smart substantially exceed its Canadian sales targets, by almost four times! The 2007 Smart Fortwo will meet the U.S. Department of Transportation and Environmental Protection Agency requirements and be compliant for the world's largest car market, the United States. Within the next few weeks, DaimlerChrysler's supervisory board will establish when to present the Smart to the United States. They are debating whether to use their dealer network or a third party to distribute the Smart in the US. A successor to the Smart Fortwo will be on sale in Europe in less than 8 months and DaimlerChrysler will be selling the Smart car in the United States! The 2007 Fortwo will be extended by 7 inches and weight will increase slightly. We're told this was done for U.S. requirements and compliance reasons. The new Smart will be embracing the Brabus appearance. The Smart's headlights will be larger and more aerodynamic, tail lights will be restructured, improved horse power, enhanced gas mileage, superior safety features, additional color alternatives and added standard and optional equipment will be available. The Smarts windshield angle will be modified for new protection of pedestrians standards. Remember, all available Smart cars are gray market vehicles and are not protected under the manufacturer's warranty. link title |
