Deal reached to bring 2-seat Smart car to U.S.

Three-cylinder auto gets 40 miles per gallon, retails for less than $15,000

FRANKFURT, Germany - Smart GmbH and United Auto Group Inc. said Thursday they will bring the two-seat smart ForTwo to the U.S. in early 2008.

Boeblingen-based Smart, part of DaimlerChrysler AG’s Mercedes Car Group, said its President Ulrich Walker had signed a general distributor agreement with United Auto Chairman Roger Penske on Wednesday.

“This is absolutely the right car in the right place at the right time. It embodies the unique combination of a lifestyle and design-oriented vehicle that is ecologically appealing,” Walker said. “Smart is uniquely designed, offers the lowest cost of ownership and is very fun to drive.”
