Not sure how to feel about this..

MB's image may go down in the US if they are selling 12' long econoboxes.

But the economic benefit is good.

On the plus side, it's a standalone nameplate. If it was actually badged as an MB it would be worst.

So what, they sell C230 sport coupes? If those dont hurt the brand...

I'd take a smart anyday (roadster).

I heard rumours that MBZ was trying to bring them here to the USA.... I wonder if it was at MBZ's insistance or Penske's that the deal got started on????
Here are five of my favorite pics of the Smart Crosstown Hybrid from Frankfurt this year. Gotta luuuuuuuuuv that green! Who needs coffee in the morning when you can drive to work in this baby?!!! LOL
A car with so many fewer parts has just got to be easier to maintain, right?

Yeah! The roadsters are very cool looking cars!! Smart cars are so amazing because they're so compact, but very durable.

Hell they perform better in a crash than a full scale car. Its amazing how the cage holds up. It looks unscathed and hell the doors still open after a 70mph full front offset crash. AMAZING.

The Smart cell of safe called Tridion is indeed much resistant but it must be why the car is practically lacking in points of absorption like in a normal car.
