We embark on a 650-mile journey through the Wild West to find out if the Smart lives up to its name.
After years of on-again, off-again false starts, the Smart ForTwo is finally headed to the land of the free and the home of the Escalade. If you’ve traveled anywhere exotic in the past few years, to places such as Europe or Canada, you’ve likely seen the original Smarts scooting around and dicing up traffic like motorized pygmies on speed. Depending on your point of view, you’ve either thought, “Those things would never work in America,” or “Golly, I wish we had those in America.” Well, soon enough we’re going to find out which camp is right, because Roger Penske is bringing the second-generation Smart two-seater – in coupe and ragtop forms – to his vast dealer network, and he’s promising that a $99 deposit will get you a Smart of your own within six months. So far, 30,000 people have signed up for that deal, so it appears that the Age of the Microcar is off to a good start.

They are the exclusive distributor for smart in North America and Puerto Rico.
Already a top seller in Europe and throughout 36 countries world-wide, smart vehicles will now add the United States to its list of buyers. The vehicles are set to make their mark in the U.S. as a new definition of innovation, intelligence and functionality. With its efficient size and urban appeal, the metropolitan Baltimore-D.C. market is a sure fit for smart.
The smartcenter Annapolis is one of 67 smartcenters to open in the U.S. The dealership participated in a detailed qualification process, including an assessment of reputation for exceptional customer care.
