Howdy from Tampa

Now that the Smarts are finally in the US and there is a Smart Center a few blocks from my apartment Ive been thinking about getting one as my first car.

I have a question though, are Smarts being sold under Chrysler? I thought they said on the SmartUSA site that they would be, but it seems the information is gone.

Just wondering if the employee discount applies or not is all.

Thanks guys!

Welcome.

I'm pretty sure PAG is it's own separate thing-smarts are not associated with MB or Chrysler in any shape or form. Someone should swing by soon and explain it better than me.

I think Ill swing by the SmartCenter in Tampa today and ask them.

I hope they have a model to look at, havent even seen one in person yet.

[Nesagwa]

Well, they shouldnt really call it a Smart Center.

They should call it Mercedes dealership that picks up the smart from the docks for you.

Didnt have any cars to look at or any information out. Said it would take up to 2 years to get one if I ordered now.

Kind of disappointing.

Welcome to the forums! I've talked to a bunch of people from Tampa. You guys should get a Smart Car Club going on up there.

It's nice to hear they have a dealer up there.. hopefully it will take some weight off of my dealer in Sarasota.
