We are pleased to announce that the highly anticipated smart car has finally arrived in the United States and at the smart center Germantown. Only 68 dealers in 31 states have been certified by smart USA to start selling vehicles in January. “We carefully selected dealers across the country who can best represent the smart brand. Each dealer participated in our detailed qualification process, including an assessment of reputation for exceptional customer care,” said Dave Schembri, president of smart USA.
 
The smart fortwo is manufactured by the Mercedes-Benz Cars and is a Daimler brand. This technologically advanced vehicle achieves 40 plus mpg on the highway and is an ultra-low emissions vehicle. The vehicle is 8.8 feet long, 5.1 feet tall and 5.1 feet wide and comes equipped with many functional and safety features found in most luxury models. Smart is currently sold in 36 countries, and more than 850,000 smart fortwos have been sold since 1998. smart USA Distributor LLC, headquartered in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., is the exclusive distributor of the smart fortwo in the United States and Puerto Rico and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penske Automotive Group, Inc.

The smart fortwo is available in three trim levels. The entry-level pure will start at $11,590*, manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), with standard convenience features such as a 5-speed automated manual transmission with manual or automatic mode, central remote locking system, 2-spoke leather steering wheel, and a radio-ready console. The well-equipped passion coupe, expected to start at $13,590* MSRP, included all the standard features described on the pure, plus a panorama roof, alloy wheels, air conditioning with climate control, 3-spoke leather sports steering wheel with shift paddles, power windows, electric and heated side mirrors, and an AM/FM radio with CD player, all standard. Those seeking top-down excitement can choose the passion cabriolet, planned to start at $16,590* MSRP, with a standard upgraded radio and sound system that includes an mp3 compatible in-dash 6 CD changer.

Each vehicle features the two-color concept characteristic of the smart brand. All models come standard with a black tridion safety cell that can be upgraded to metallic silver at an additional cost. The changeable body panels are available in six colors – deep black, light yellow and crystal white are standard, while blue metallic, red metallic and silver metallic are offered for an additional charge.
