I see those all over the place.

I thought Daimler killed off Dodge's van program and forced Chrysler to import Mercedes vans instead?

I could've sworn Chrysler was getting a version of the smart car in 06?

I haven't seen the MB version yet, just the Dodge and Freightliners. I did see a Smart car a couple of weeks ago though.

Originally Smart cars were going to go on sale in the U.S. in 2006 but that idea got canned due to concerns about profit. They might show up over here eventually.
