Next Gen Smart Spotted in the US

[Canadian Turbo]

The forthcoming 2008 Smart ForTwo was pictured testing in the United States. Spotted at a gas station in the Colorado Rockies, the car is one of the first Smart prototypes we've heard of being on America. In late June, DaimlerChrysler announced it would bring the Smart brand to the United States in 2008. These photos confirm that the ForTwo will get a new headlight design to reflect the change at sister company Mercedes from dual-oval headlamps to sleeker one-piece lights.

Hmmm Gas? There is a price for diesel on the main sign but the pump they are at only has one nozzle and you can see the VPower gas selection behind the car so it has to be a Gas pump..

I didn't realize Smart cars weren't available in the US.

Not available by a long shot, I think it was Blair who told me that there was a huge order placed for the smart by some company and smart told them that if they wanted to sell it in the states they would do it themselves.
