The little car that could is finally coming to Orange County.
After a long battle to bring the Smart Car, which is popular in Europe, to the U.S., Michigan’s Smart USA will begin distributing it to dealerships this year.
In OC, Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel is set to sell the 2008 Smart ForTwo model.
...Smart USA is expected to announce its dealers at the end of this month. It already has 40,000 customers who paid $99 to reserve a car, according to the company.
...Because the Smart Car is likely to be more of a fashion statement than a functional everyday car, some dealers have opted not to sell the European imports.
Fletcher Jones Motorcars of Newport Beach opted not to be a dealer, according to Garth Blumenthal, general manager.

B.S. or whatever.....since 1200 dealers applied and only 74 will be chosen for now. Sounds like "sour grapes" to me.
is out here in Chicago as well, Knauz and Loeber (all are MBZ dealers) will be getting the smart's but not them. I have seen that smartUSA also secured web sites for Barrington & Hoffman Estates which have Motor Werks (another mega dealer) for possibly future expansion ... nothing for Fletcher Jones locations ...
Sounds like "sour grapes" to me.
