From 2004
A mystical car today, the next logical step back then. After smart's product range grew, it became clear that an SUV was also needed. At the time, these were still in their infancy, but someone at smart had the right idea.
Unfortunately, things turned out differently, as I report in a detailed article. Mercedes lost all courage and smart had to scrap all projects apart from the fortwo. The brand should only build fortwo and because the topic of SUVs was perhaps not so wrong, Mercedes presumably made the Mercedes ML out of the formore. But they couldn't take the innovative power and variety of ideas away from smart.
