Making SMART smarter.

With SMARTcar ROADSTER sales plummeting, Merecedes-Benz may want to take a cue from the custom jobs found over at UK based smartsRus. A site dedicated to providing sales as well as a platform for those involved in the Smart Car culture.

Established back in 2002 by Paul Holmes and Liam Wilkinson, smartsRus has quickly become a major cog in the world of SMART.

Now obviously the A-Team custom has caught my attention, but just one thing though....can I smash through a chain link fence with it ?

smart car sales aren't plummeting

as a smart car fan who is currently on a long waiting list to get a smart car in canada, i can assure you that sales are definitely not plummeting on the north american market. in fact, there is no "north american market": smart cars aren't even sold in the united states yet - they don't meet emissions requirements. so, there is only the canadian market, which is certainly not plummeting.

smart car ROADSTER sales

You're absolutely right. It was actually the Smart Car ROADSTER that was having poor sales and resulted in Chrysler ceasing production. Correction noted and made. See link.... http://tinyurl.com/orkwa Thanks !

The Smart Cars are already available in the US from ZAP www.zapworld.com ZP (NYSE). A California based company who imports, retrofits, and then distributes the Smart Cars to their dealers. Zap is also planning on bringing a Brazilian made car to the US, the Obvio! 828, that is a hybrid that can run on any combination of ethanol and gas. Zap is also the only car company who is selling a Chinese manufactured car in the US the 100% electric Xebra city car .
