I just read that Daimler-Chrysler is looking to sell off the Smart brand. The cars are not profitable enough for them. Reportedly, Piaggio (the makers of Vespa) are in talks to purchase the Smart Car.
If they buy it they hope to make the Smart profitable by moving production from Germany to India.
This could be just a rumour though.
