Are all USA smart fortwo's made in Hambach, France ?
After speculation of the the smart VIN and looking at the maps. I think the conclusions made about what the first two letters mean may be wrong. The confusing thing is, there is more then ...
Maybe it's on the same boat as my Brabus the "INDEPENDENCE ll" Due to dock at BALTIMORE, MD on 2/1512009. If you can get your VIN # you could check and see like I did.

hi again not so, i was notified yesterday that my brabus was "in port" so i guess it was on the boat ahead of yours.with any kind of luck it should be ready for delivery next week. i'll keep you informed. sincerely, bud
hi not so, my dde still says jan14 to apr14 which has not changed since feb5th. i think this tells me it has been shipped but i still have not heard officially from the dealer. probably will this week. since you have your vin# have you tracked it? which ship? when does it arrive in balto? hopefully i'm on the same boat. thanks and i'll let you know of any progress. keep in touch, bud
Hey man thank alot for you info on the gear knob. I call my supplier guy and he confirmed the availability. Listen I pickup a Brabus Cabrio recently and I am exited about getting Brabus extras accessories for it. I will post some pic later this week
hi not, thanks so much for getting back to me. my date moved again today. it sure is a strange system. hard to figure out. i'll get back to you if there is any change and would appreciate it if you do the same. sincerely, bud
well, if your wife doesn't like it, then you get to drive it more ;)
smarts are rather stiffly sprung, i sold a mercedes 190E that i drove for the last year when my smart arrived. the two are entirely different creatures.
the benz is a mini land yacht, power everything and leather lined, smooth riding and made to cruise at 100+mph.
the smart is mainly an urban animal, made to dart about in tight traffic. i think i'll make another reservation soon, try for a Brabus :D
i hope you get yours soon, they're a blast to drive!
Just arrived and fitted a pair of self adhesive sill plates for my Smart They are made from thin strips of metal with the smart logos raised up, and if positioned correctly will prevent damage to your painted sills as you get out, they also look ...
my first shot would be to contact smart, go to www.smart.com, choose your country, then
go to "about smart" at the top of the page, then click on "contact us". then you can e-mail smart and go over the head of the dealership......
