The A class was introduced on the market, sold some units and failed miserably in all car tests, and subsequently got pulled.

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.
I could be wrong, but my knowledge of this is that Mercedes hired Hajek to design the Smart.
