: Does anybody know when will the "Smart" is going to be sold in the USA? This car is now sold in Europe and is made by a joint-venture of Mercedes-Benz and Swatch
WE HAVE INFORMATION ON A COMPANY IN FT LAUDERDALE THAT HAS BEEN RAISING CAPITOL FROM VARIOUS INVESTMENT BANKERS INCLUDING FUNDS FROM SEVERAL OF THE LARGER BANKS TO BUILD A FACTORY HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. THIS COMPANY IS GOING TO BE PUBLICLY TRADED IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. SMART HAS ALREADY SENT THEM AN AGREEMENT TO PURCHACE ALL OF THE AVAILABLE CARS MADE FROM ALL THE FACTORIES IN EUROPE, AFTER THE DEALERS RECIEVE THEIR ORDERS. THEN MERCEDES WILL SUPPLY UNITS TO THE LARGEST ORDER FIRST THEN TO OTHERS. THIS COMPANY WHICH IS FINISHING SEC FILINGS WILL NOT ALLOW MY GROUP TO MENTION THEIR NAME AT THIS TIME, BECAUSE IT MAY BE CONSIDERED A SOLISITATION FOR STOCK WICH WOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED INSIDE INFORMATION. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THEY ORDERED 10,000,000(TEN MILLION)UNITS OVER A 5 YEAR PERIOD. THEY HAVE STORAGE AT THE PORT WITH MILATARY SECURITY AND A NO FLY ZONE FOR NON AUTHORIZED PICTURES. THE CARS WILL BE SOLD LEGALLY IN THE U.S.BEFORE NEXT MONTH IN VERY LARGE VOLUME. ALREADY THEY HAVE 190,000(ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY THOUSAND) ORDERS FOR SMART CARS.
