Smart is short for Swatch Mercedes ART. The first Smart, then called the smart Micro Compact Car City Coupe, came off the assembly line at the Smartville plant in Hambach, France, in 1998.

The car has proved to be more than a fad. It now has a cult following.

Since Mercedes Benz launched the Smart, this little car has been changing the public's view about the impact that a petite and practical motor vehicle can have on automotive safety, function and efficiency.

The car looks smart, it's unique, and for the many people who have driven it, the Smart Car has proved utterly irresistible.

Indeed, this car has been a labor of love and a challenge, to say the least.

As always, Smart Car of America has stayed true to its quest, researching and finding up-to-the minute material on alternative transportation for our readers.

Thanks to the determination, tenacity and enthusiasm of Silica Corporation and others, we are all one step closer in the quest for the Smart.

Silica Corporation is an automobile wholesaler and distributor and has begun to import the Smart for sale in the United States.
