More Begging For smart

Detroit News columnist Neil Rubin asks the now almost age old question "When can I buy my darned smart car?" and gets the usual "Wait and see" from smart communications director Heinz Gottwick. Rubin's article implies that changes are required in the design of the smart for US standards. While this may be the case for the current model, it's been made very clear by smart officials that the next generation fotwo will meet all US safety and emissions standards. Language is getting stronger as evidenced by this article that smart will bring the fortwo to the US. There are also rumors that Roger Penske will be involved in the marketing of the car. All speculation at this point.
