who makes smart cars'
The updated Smart Fortwo (named because it's for two people) is ready for release in 2008, so we could be seeing a lot more Smart Cars on the road in the near future. The Smart Car began with Nicolas Hayek, the man who invented Swatch watches. He wanted to make a small car that would be fuel efficient, environmentally responsible and easy to park in small spaces. The Swatch Company collaborated with Daimler-Benz (after a failed venture with Volkswagen) to create the first City Coupe under the company name Micro Compact Car (MCC).
