Smart Considering Baby "City SUV" - Isn't That Market Pretty Full Right Now?

Mercedes-Benz is seriously considering building a Smart SUV or crossover based on the architecture shared by the Smart Forfour, new Fortwo and Renault Twingo.

Although sales have started strongly for the combined Renault-Smart project, both companies are looking at ways to increase the total annual output of this unique rear-engined platform.

According to the latest sales figures, Renault shifted just over 10,000 Twingos in February alone and Smart about 3700 each of its models.

In *my* mind, this is more of a SmartFour with a little extra space behind the rear seats, than a real SUV. An SUV is an entirely different animal. Just my two cents.

Totally agree. After looking at their product offerings over the past 17 or so years, the folks at Smart don't seem all that bright. My opinion . . .

Are you saying it's not smart to buy a Smart? ;-)
