Read on the net a few days ago that the SMART will be imported to the US in a few months. Diamler Chrysler has entered an agreement with Roger Penske to import the SMART with 30 to 50 dealerships nationwide. A few months ago there was an article in either Money or Forbes about a man in Southern California that was going to bring them in on the Gray Market and sell them for about $30,000. Selling them via dealerships. Roger Penske says that they will sell for about $15,000, that means that the man with all of those Gray Market cars will eat the cost of those cars and the upgrades. The mileage is supposed to be about 69 miles per gallon on the highway. When Americans insist on automatic transmissions and air conditioning that figure will drop.
