This site provides useful information about the new smart fortwo car landing in America as of 2008. I am here to guide you through the process of deciding whether this car is right for you.
Hi,
Welcome to the site that's all about the new smart made for America!
My name is Jim McCue, and I fell in love with the smart car during the fall of 2007 when I saw one zip past me in my hometown of Boise, Idaho. I was so fascinated and intrigued with the little car, I began researching to learn all I could about it.
I was impressed with its high miles per gallon (MPG) rating and the major safety features. I also liked that it is designed to be a commuter car that helps consumers save gas.
Also, I realized how important this car is to America in helping our environment and reducing congestion in our cities and suburbs. I really feel strongly that Americans are ready to embrace a new automobile type, which I'll call the "micro-mini," to help relieve the pressure of high fuel costs and the damage being done to our environment through global warming.
In fact, I was so excited about the smart car, I decided to put my $99 down to reserve one for me.
While conducting my research, I realized just how new this car is to Americans with its introduction just occurring in January of 2008. I also found out just how much of a need there was for a well-organized site to help potential enthusiasts gather meaningful information to use in determining if the fortwo is right for them. So, I decided to create this site to help you learn about the smart fortwo and provide guidance during the decision-making process.
You'll find that the best way to move around this site is by progressing through the five stages of decision-making that is described below. You start from having a curiosity about the car and move on to actually owning one. You'll find ten navigation buttons on the left side of every page that provide easy passage through the five stages.
My sincere goal is to help you learn what you want to know about the smart car so that you can decide if it's right for you.
Together lets "Make a statement" that the smart car meets our driving needs for today and tomorrow.
Enjoy this site and your journey of discovery!
