Sales of New smart fortwo Hit 100,000 in First Year

Via GCC:

Sales of the new smart fortwo are up 80% worldwide over the previous version of the car.

US sales in March were 1,734 units.

Sales were up most in Germany and Italy - 2/3rds of the total purchases.

Quote:
In February 2008, experts from the German automotive club ADAC and from various automotive magazines ranked the smart fortwo the most economical car on the German market ...

In addition to evaluating the operating costs, the experts took into account fixed costs including insurance premiums, taxes, service center fees, and value depreciation over time.
