Smart rethinking U.S. expansion plans

So Smart is rethinking its U.S. expansion plans. A new management team installed this fall will consider bringing other vehicles in addition to the SUV-style ForMore, U.S.-based spokeswoman Julia Knittel said. The company will use next month's North American International Auto Show in Detroit -- the auto industry's glitziest annual event -- to gauge U.S. interest in Smart's full product line, which includes a four-seater and a roadster. The company could decide to speed or delay its U.S. debut as it develops new models, Knittel said.
