  | Smart Roadster Spotted in SoCal  We have no idea why a discontinued (but soon to be revived) Smart Roadster was spotted in Fountain Valley of all places, but according to reader Joe, it was: So I am driving in Fountain Valley, CA and this little car with HUGE wheel arches pulls up at the light. Damn thing looked like an RX-8 shrunk in the wash. Interesting little bit of style. No pictures, sorry.He asked us where it may have come from. Our best guess is Germany, although given recent circumstances, it could’ve been England. Sorry we can’t be more specific. |

| Re: Smart Roadster Spotted in SoCal LOL, America think the Smart car is an exotic car! It does seem weird that Smart roadster was in America, can't have been MB testing, so someone must have imported it! |

| Re: Smart Roadster Spotted in SoCal - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER The Wall Street Journal is reporting that DaimlerChrysler will announce next week that the SMART fortwo will be launched in the U.S. as early as next year. CEO Dieter Zetsche is reportedly hoping that U.S. sales could help SMART turn a profit, which it has failed to do for DaimlerChrysler since its inception in 1998. WSJ says that an agreement has been reached with a U.S. distributor to sell the SMART car in major metropolitan markets on the East and West coasts where small car sales are strongest. Though the exchange rate is not in DCX's favor, the company is hoping that high gas prices will make its tiny car attractive to consumers.
