Just back from a trip to Finland & Denmark......

And only saw one Smart fortwo?

It was in Helsinki and it was wrapped.

Other than that nothing! I was expecting to see oodles of them.

I did see a couple of the Mercedes A class 4-doors which seem to have a similar DNA as the Smart fortwo.

Last time I was in Frankfort Germany, they were very common. I assume these are pretty common in France, Germany, etc. I expected to see a whole lot more than just one on my trip?

Interesting. I've seen them all over England, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, etc. But now that I think about, I don't recall ever seeing a smart in Scandinavia. Not that I was looking for them, but a few summers ago, I spent a couple of months in Sweden and also Copenhagen.

For Scandinavian, they're sold only in Norway, Sweden and Finland.
As for Israel, not yet. At least officially.
