The “street smart” tour kicked off in Los Angeles on May 19th and already is a major success. In Southern California alone, we’ve hosted over 5,000 test drives! Stopping in locations like Urban Outfitters, Whole Foods, and Lucky Strike, thousands of Reservation Holders, “insiders” and enthusiasts have come out to test drive the smart fortwo. In addition, our street teams have taken the car all around town, popping up in places like Riverside, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Hollywood, Malibu and Long Beach.
The reaction to the car from both the public and the media has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are extremely grateful to everyone who stopped by to meet us. Take a look at some of these great clips from KCBS or KTTV News in Los Angeles, or this one from KNSD in San Diego.
While our Western Tour continues through San Diego and Las Vegas, our Central Tour will begin in Minneapolis. Stop by to see us in the Twin Cities at the Stone Arch Festival of the Arts on June 16-17. Not long after, our Eastern Tour will begin in Boston on June 30.

Is India on the moon? Wow! You guys ARE far away.
Welcome aboard. If anyone knows about scooters, especially 2-strokers, it would likely be someone in India.
We’re always in the market for some cool, interesting or odd scooter / moped / microcar photos if you happen to snap ‘em.

I can’t help feeling like the typical American will decide that the Smart is the perfect car for everyone else to have.
It’s worth noting that if you already have a scooter, you probably don’t have a niche for a city car as well.
