I see nothing on the sticker stating its a mhd, and its the only one on the lot, I checked every other smart there.

somebody is messing with people I suspect. Good idea for including a picture of the window sticker or this thread would be out of control

Did the Passion next to it have an A-Team emblem on the back?

YEP.....that would be my guess as well, since the sticker says nothing about "mhd"...option or otherwise and the pricing is that of a 'standard' Passion Coupe.

Still, it would be interesting to ask them how they got 'one'.....

Micro Hybrid Drive ... it's not really a hybrid but what happens when you're stopped at a light the engine turns off and minute you go take foot off brake when you're going to start driving again the engine turns back on saving gas.

I wish that was standard equipment on US spec smarts cause that would bump up the MPG on city driving.

The car is US spec and normal just some numb nuts put a MHD badge on the back panel. The badge probably was put on before the panel was even on the car or got mixed in a batch of non MHD rear panels. The car would cost the dealer the same and that they should be easily removed by dealer.
