Smart ForTwo to tour US on tractor trailors

With the Smart car debut for US just around the corner, Smart USA is looking to build awareness of the ForTwo cars. Rather than going the regular TV ads and print ads route DailmerChrysler will get three 38-foot tractor-trailers and load them up with four Smart ForTwo cars and send them on a country-wide tour.

The new Smart ForTwo will be available in the US in the first quarter of 2008 and will be sold in partnership with Roger Penske and UnitedAuto Group across 319 dealers.

How does that little shit even pass the crash tests...?

And I hope that they don't make an "S" or some stupid "Sport" model that all the ricers will "tune."

Mind you, people weren't meant to go from 70 to 0mph in 0 seconds :-(

It's because they use really high strength steel, and they made a shell that is super-strong.
I don't understand why every American thinks that smart cars are unsafe, the were BUILT FOR SAFETY, and size

Gas and diesel Smart cars and Hybrids are a copout, the still run on fossil fuels.

Will wait for the electric Smart car.

Just euro cars can civilize US-traffic.

If you have more euro minicars, small hatchbacks and sedans you will find out how big roads you've got!
