Despite misgivings and skepticism by certain industry authorities, Canadian’s in general, have welcomed the Smart Car ForTwo with open arms and pocket books.
This is especially impressive since the first smart cars in North America were introduced in Canada rather than in the United States.
Some would say that was a rather bold move by Mercedes-Benz of Canada. Since its launch over seven years ago, over 20,000 Smarts have been sold in Canada. Far exceeding everyone’s, especially Mercedes-Benz of Canada’s, predictions.
Several years of smart car marketing, after its debut in our country, the smart is now a fairly common sight on our streets – and it’s gaining more and more fans south of the border too. We can at least claim to have appreciated the virtues of this two-seater first – which is kind of novel in our market.
