 2005 Smart ForFour - Road Test & Review - Automobile Magazine
Smart, Mercedes-Benz's hip, minicar brand launched in 1994, has branched out from its initial, pod-like, two-seater (famous for its ability to park nose in to a curb), and added a targa-topped Roadster and the four-door ForFour; we recently had a chance to drive the latter in Spain.
All Smarts are small to American eyes, but whereas the original Smart ForTwo looks freakishly small even in Europe, the ForFour is a standard B-class car over there-one size down from a VW Golf, but six inches longer than a Mini Cooper.
Smart suspended indefinitely development on the ForMore small SUV, the model that was supposed to bring the brand to the U.S. We didn't think another me-too small SUV was so smart anyhow.
