Mexican Forfour

Here are some pictures that my wife took in one of her trips to Mexico, the Smart brand has been selling cars for over 7 years over there.
You can see it in every possible angle:

I'll be honest... it does nothing for me. I think the fortwo is great looking, but the forfour seems like a forced effort.

smart was "smart" to cancel production of the forfour, as there is too much competion in that market segment. I do wish they would bring back the roadster though....

I agree, the Forfour is a good looking compact car but to me it doesn't look like a Smart should, only the 2 tone color reminds you that is actually a Smart featuring the Tridion.

I can only say this, if I didn't want a small two seater, I doubt I'd have bought a smart.

Looks like they have proper DISKS (rotors) for the rear....

Random thought: Seeing how it is FWD, perhaps someone can adapt the front rotors of a forfour to the RWD arrangement of a fortwo using its REAR brackets to mount the front rotors of a 4 on a 2???

Interesting badging on the tailgate, "ForFour".

I wonder why our smarts aren't badged "ForTwo" ?

This is the only car I've seen that didn't have the model type stuck somewhere on the car.

Maybe if they did, people would stop calling it a smart CAR.

Lexus did the same thing when they first introduced the LS400 (which was the only model they offered at the time). I do think a "fortwo" badge similar to those found on the 450 would be nice.
