really? makes one wonder where all those A class Benzes are coming from then.
Smart is an own brand, "invented" by the Swatch designer Hajek, originally sposed to be sold as Swatch Car, when he realized how much it takes to build a proper car, he teamed up with MB and they renamed it to Smart. the new Smart Forfour will be a 4 seater based on the new Mitsubishi Colt or Honda Civic (it escapes me at the moment whioch one it is), no MB technology at all.
