Penske to open Smart Car dealership
By Sheena Harrison
Penske Automotive Group Inc. plans to open its local Smart Car dealership, smart center Bloomfield, on Thursday.
A grand opening ceremony is scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursday at the dealership, 1765 S. Telegraph Road in Bloomfield Hills. The first Michigan Smart Car customer is expected to receive a Smart ForTwo during the event.
The dealership is the only Smart Car dealer in Michigan and is owned and operated by Smart USA Distributor L.L.C., a subsidiary of Bloomfield Hills-based Penske Automotive (NYSE: PAG).
Smart center Bloomfield is one of 68 dealers in 31 states expected to open this month.
Six other Smart Car dealerships are expected to open by the end of the year.
Well, that's two of us who are not the first. On the other hand, when I talked to Smartcenter Bloomfield, my sales guy didn't know anything about the Open House, either, so who knows what's really going on?
I'm thinking some lucky soul has been contacted to pose for the photo opportunity.
After I posted my response, I realized that my choice of words (I said "posing") may have been interpreted to some people as a non-buyer posing as though they were the buyer.
What I meant to imply is that one of us Michiganders was going to be the LUCKY one to be photographed for the PRESS and would be lucky to POSE for that picture. I'm sure everybody on this site would love to be that kind of lucky first recipient in their area. I didn't want people to think I was suggesting any kind of monkey business going on. I'm so happy that these cars are beginning to be 'delivered' that I'm almost beside myself because once they start going out the door, the 'long-awaited show has finally begun'.
Hooray for Bloomfield and all the other dealerships that are beginning to make good on deliveries.

Perfect timing... I fly in early Saturday afternoon and plan to stop by before going to the big auto show (address printed and Neverlost reserved!) No cars yet here in Omaha so it will be nice to see what they have there.
Well, we're all waiting for the follow up report now that it's over. On the other hand, I'm sure that person is out 'driving' and polishing, etc. Maybe later?
