For what it is worth, I heard from a reputable source that smart will import Brabus accessories in the near future, but not the engine performance parts as the homologation costs make it uneconomical.

Brabuses make 2% of the smart production worldwide, so we would be talking about 500 cars/year here.

I'm a millionaire and I'm opening my own dealership, smart center Maui, next year. To facilitate the delivery of product, I'm building a bridge from LA to Hawaii. It will be known as "The Bridge to Nowhere You Can Afford to Go"

We are also getting two Brabus display cars - a coupe and a cabriolet at Smart Center Alexandria. Our cabriolet is due in November and our Coupe is scheduled for the end of January.

Thank you for telling the people out there that think the dealers are not telling the truth.

Peter - you have to admit that you appear a bit trigger happy here. If the dealerships are getting Brabus models, is this information that's supposed to be shared with a large population? It sounds more like something that should be kept under wraps until the models are available to avoid altering sales in a negative way. If the information is for public release, more power to you. If not, shame on you!
