IIRC there was a Dodge-branded concept car based on the Smart Roadster, but it was never released as a production model. Well, maybe the Smart brand was not so appealing to the performance market there, yet a rebadged (and easily re-skinned to get the family look of regular Dodge models) version could have some better chances to succeed.
