Up until now, much of I've written about the smart fortwo has been relatively objective, due to the fact that I personally haven't been in the market for one of the little models. Today that changes, however, as a family member is considering the purchase of a new fortwo, and it's with rather mixed emotions that I write this article. A few days ago at the start of the Detroit Auto Show, Daimler announced that at the end of 2009 the company will begin production of an electric smart fortwo, and they are "exploring" opportunities for the United States market. They then took the opportunity to detail at length the various projects currently underway in which electric fortwo models are in operation, such as the previously detailed "e-mobility Berlin." But going back to what I said originally, with a family member considering a new fortwo, American consumers have to ask: what the hell is taking so long?
