Smart launches US assault
28 June 2006
- US launch for Smart brand in 2008
- New market gives hope to troubled brand
- New Fortwo to appear in mid-2007
Smart will be launched in the US in early 2008, according to owners DaimlerChrysler.
After the Roadster, Forfour supermini and a future compact off-roader project were all canned, the future of the entire Smart marque looked very much in the balance.
The announcement that Smart will go on sale in the US with the next-generation version of the Fortwo shows that DaimlerChrysler is still committed to the range.
While the new Fortwo goes on sale in the US in 2008, European showrooms are expected to have the car by the middle of next year.
