Forum Guidelines

In order to help maintain individual forums close to their intended subject matter, several forums may issue guidelines to assist those intending to start threads.

Guidelines to posting in Smart Car News and Rumors
Posts concerning news, articles, media events, etc, which pertain to smart, smartusa, PAG or MB on a global and national level, as well as local media stories that are of interest to the smart community as a whole, are welcome in News and Rumors. Annoucements of dealerships openings, personal deliveries/reservations, and local events should be posted in the appropriate forum outside of News and Rumors.

Thanks!

This cracks me up. A stray post placed in a thread asking not to do this.

smart production to stop

Well it finally happened, regretfully Mercedes finally pulled the plug ( no pun intended) on the little smart because of rising manufacturing costs in France. The future manufacturing site will be in Zimbabwe and that facility will be ready for building new smarts within a year or possibly two at the most. Present manufacturing will cease by the end of April of 2008. Any one that has put down their deposit will receive credit back or can apply it as a down payment toward the new small TaTa vehicle currently in the works in India. The choice of colors will be limited of course, for that vehicle will only be available in white with white. Current smart owners will still have their warranty honored at any Starbucks Repair Center. 4/1/08

The jokes are on us-my dealer still can't tell me how many reservers are ahead of me! They are furious over the DDE.
