Smart or A class?

We just returned from Europe and I have a couple of "Smart" questions:
Why get a Smart over an A class?
Why did some Smart cars have a Mercedes Logo and others didn't - they looked exactly the same (front and rear lights and so on).

The Smart is a MICRO car where the A Class is a Mini Car...
The Smart Car WILL Beat you up on any long drive...Where the A class is almost a real car...

My Smart had a Very Harsh ride Even BEFORE I added 225 30 17 inch rear tires and 205 16s in the front with Lower sport springs and shocks

Its a Great car for the city..but on any long drive ..watch out!

Look for a AMG A210 soon!

Thanks for the reply. Considering the SMART for a comute car since the A or B is not available here. They sure are cute! Can't say that about the ForFour and am somewhat reserved on the "roadster" of which we only saw a few.

If You go for the Smart..Go for the COUPE as the Conv Parts are MAJOR $ Smart does not sell Items for the top assy..Only the complete Top ONLY!
Found that one out the hard way...
