Smart Tour Hits San Antonio

The authorized U.S. distributor, Smart USA ( www.smartusa.com), has begun a series of tours with the Smart ForTwo across the country to give would-be buyers a chance to see the cars and get behind the wheel, if only for a few minutes.

The tour was in San Antonio for three days last weekend, and hundreds of people — including many from Fort Worth, Dallas, Austin and Houston — showed up. The cars are on display in Houston this weekend but won't reach Dallas until Oct. 26-31.

What was clear from the visitors to the Smart tour in downtown San Antonio is that many of these potential buyers are people who love odd new vehicles ,particularly ones that make a statement.

The statement they believe the Smart is making, they said, is that it's time to think more about the environment and to stop driving around in behemoth vehicles that pollute the air and compound our dependence on foreign oil.
