Smart?s ForTwo Grows Up.

Eight years after it altered the face of inner-city motoring across Europe, DaimlerChrysler?s financially embattled Smart car offshoot has unveiled a successor to the tiny ForTwo in both coupe and cabriolet guises. The new two-seat city car, planned to go on sale in the United States in 2008, has been developed totally from scratch in a move Smart boss Ulrich Walker claims has led to a 25 percent lowering in production costs?something he says will finally see Smart posting a profit beginning in 2008.
