Smart Car company is being dissolved

Is it over for the Smart Company? Will there be no Smart car in the US? That’s what I asked myself when I saw the title on the German website – Autohaus Online. Don’t worry Smart fanatics; you will see the Smart car in the US eventually, actually, in 2008 according to the Smart boss Ulrich Walker. The company will go through a restructuring phase were it will integrate itself with the Mercedes Car Group. Is that good? Will that help them? Well according to Walker, his goal is to finally start making money in 2007, and this integration may help them achieve that, either through cutting cost or selling more cars. So don’t worry, the Smart car is still alive and will be hitting US showrooms sometime in 2008.

This car is so cool..I remember seeing it in person for the first time in Rome four or five years ago. I hope they sell well here in America.

This car will help those daily commuters with parking spots as well as gas. Not a supercar or a premium car but a smart car.
