My next door neighbor just bought one, he ordered it a year ago and said the entire years output has been presold.

These have been sold in Europe for at least 10 years, I first saw them in Paris in 1999.

Smart is owned and marketed by Daimler AG, formerly known as Daimler-Benz.

THEY ALWAYS SHOW YOU THE FRONT CRASH TEST, BUY HOW DO YOU THINK THAT TIN CAN WILL DO WHEN HE RUNS A RED LIGHT AND GETS T-BONED BY A FORD EXCURSION OR ANY SUV/PICK UP? MY FAMILY WILL NEVER BE IN ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
