Looks like sales of Corollas, Fits, Aveos and Yarii aren't the only ones headed upward...

For the second quarter which just ended in June, 7,731 smart fortwos were delivered, raising the year-to-date wholesale delivery total to 12,646 vehicles.
Sales for the little car are expected to remain strong. Amazingly, some 20,000 advance orders were placed in the months of May and June alone, prompting Penske Automotive to raise the sales outlook from around 20K to between 24,000 and 27,500 units in 2008, smart's first year on the U.S. market.

To put the 2008
12,646 smart fortwo sales in perspective,
GM sold 37,697 Aveos in the same time, while
Toyota sold 73,300 Yarii.
GM still sold more Hummers YTD (18,035 - all models), beating smart sales.
