skipinschool, for heaven sakes, when you are talking about facts quote the source... when you are giving your personal thoughts or opinions, make sure you mention that, so you dont spread inaccurate info
before you ask, here is why i am flipping out:
Smart is a project launched by Mercedes in 1995, Merc developped the car in part with Swatch, the Swiss watch maker, under the project name Smart Car
Mercedes decided not to badge the car with the tristar for marketing reasons, and to introduce the smart as a concept on its own.
at the same year, 1995, Mercedes introduced the A class to be a 1998 model
the buttom line is, the 2 cars co-existed for more than 12 years, and they are 2 totally separate concepts, projecting 2 separate shares of the market...etc
as always, its nothing against you personally, but when you post wrongfull and misleading info (with good faith i am sure) you could cause other members to start quoting you and dealing with what you say as facts...
