Well, in "The DaVinci Code", Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou have a very harrowing chase scene in her Smart Car through the streets of France. In "A Good Year", the Smart is featured throughout the film…

I'm also an LA-based voiceover artist and I offer Smart USA my services to voice the ads as well. I think people (potential customers) can hear if the voice reading the ads honestly believes what the…

For what it's worth, I received the advertising survey in my e-mail yesterday. It had five proposed ad campaigns. I wasn't fired up about any of them, really, but I picked one as slightly better than the rest. I won't spoil it for you if you haven't…

I agree we need to promote the FUN of the Smart. It's fun to go down the interstate at 85-90 and pass all the Transfers, SUV's, Corvette, Esclipse and watch their face as I wave and blow past them. One guy in a vette got so mad he got behind me unti…

Lights out, Well its hard to tell when part of the smart directive is to be energy efficient and all smart centers have photo cells on the lighting so they are not on just to be ON. They are only on when the light levels from outside are low enough…

Advertising or no, it won't do any good if the dealerships start going the way of smartCenter Charlotte - you go in through the MB side, and when you get to the smart side, the lights are out, no one is around - looks like an abandoned building. Can…

There should be adds here, they already have so many good ones out there they just have to put them out there, my thoughts are though that the all inclusive population may not be the audience that they would have the most successes with, perhaps the…

That's not advertising, that's an article. And it's not TV. And the picture of the car on the article isn't even a Smart car. Come ON. The American consumer gets most of its car info from TV ads. Smart has never advertised. Smart sales have dropped…

It would be good if Smart advertised this great stuff in a place where people who don't already own Smart cars could see it.. like, oh, I dunno, maybe TV?

What is happening is major manufacturers are bringing their version of the Smart to market...They obviously know that gas prices are going substantially up...Ford , Fiat,Toyota,and Nissan could not be all wrong about the future micro car market in t…

What I don't understand is why, at the local level, the dealers who handle multiple brands don't even advertise that they ALSO carry smarts. They're already running ads in the newspaper. At least they could carve out a small corner of the ad to show…

I just received an email ad from Smart that would make a great billboard: A silhouette of the famous statue "The thinker" who says, "What's the big idea?" Facing the silhouette is a photo of a silver Smart Cabriolet who says, simply, "me." It was…

Remember the old saying, 'The lord helps those who help,themselves.' I have noticed as you may have, that not all smart centers all created equal. Some have enthusiastic management and brand specialists (much like us owners) and others do not. Witne…

I bought my 2008 Passion in April 2008 and just bought a new 2009 Passion for the wife 2 weeks ago. Does that say something about customer satisfaction! I let everyone who seems interested sit in the car, some I take for a drive. I explain the safe…

Smart Stories from Julie's Garage - January 15, 2010

It happened. My nightmare. My Smart car, Maxwell, was hit.

On my way home from work on Wednesday, January 13th, I was in a line of cars waiting for a red light (I was 5th or 6th in line) when I looked into my rearview mirror and saw a car coming up behind me. I could see the top of the driver's head, which told me he was texting!

I watched in horror and realized he wasn't looking up to check the road. 'Crap,' I thought. 'He's not going to stop.' (Actually, it wasn't 'cr… Continue
