I am wondering what nationality do we consider out smart. Since Daimler is a German Company but our car is actually make it Smartville, France. With a Mitsu engine from Japan..... And at first it started with Swatch which that's Swiss company....
So what will you consider our smart as German, Franch or Jap??
