Having lived in the EU for a spell, the small body of the Smartcar is not an unfamiliar site. Seeing it packed in between a Hummer and an Escalade the other day in the heart of Orange County traffic was a bit awkward. But encouraging. Beginning in the early '90's as a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Swatch, the Smartcar has become a worldwide phenomenon. The brilliant design minimizes fuel consumption, space usage and price while maximizing safety with revolutionary Safety Cell technology. America is probably the last country to catch on (aside from Sierra Leone). Recently we have noticed the strong push Smart has been making in promotion of the fortwo, which will begin US sales in 2008. Reservations can be made at smartusa.com.
