Product Description
Since the launch of the original two-seater City Coupe in 1999, the SMART marque has achieved wide success throughout Europe. Since then, this model - now sold as the ForTwo - has become a popular sight in every major European city and urban region, particularly in the UK. The SMART is an individual's car, and the availability of a vast range of funky panel designs and accessories enables SMART drivers to stand out from the crowd. Here is a fascinating insight into the design and evolution of the SMART, as well as an essential guide to ownership.

5 out of 5 stars Great little primer on all things smart   October 19, 2007
Paul Guinness' report 'the smart story' is a great synopsis of smart history, includes a plethora of images from each model, and gives the reader good introductions to the brand, its initial problems, subsequent resolutions, and other intimate details of the product line, it's green manufacturing process, and its loyal followers.

Though the material is a few years out-of-date now, it still holds intrinsic value for any owner (or would-be owner) of the marque's past and current offerings.

As with other books, Paul's writing style makes for an enjoyable read. He explains technical details in a way that is easy to understand, and conveys the marque's spirit and brand.

Along with the usual data you'd expect to find in an auto book (e.g., the specs, colors, options, and pricing of various models), the reader evolves a sense of what the smart community holds for them, and what they might expect to find at the dealership, a service garage, or accessory ("after-market" parts) shops. Thus, it has not only served to educate me about the cars and their history, it has also helped to cement my decision to get one of these fun, stylish, quirky little cars.



5 out of 5 stars SMART'n Up America!   April 19, 2007
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

A VERY cool little car and a very nice book about it! Its not a technical manual but it will introduce you to the coolest little vehicle since the glory days of the VW Bugs in the 60s. And YES! YOU TOO can own one. Roger Penske's automotive group will be selling the cool little USA version starting late this year of 2007 in dealerships across America. They start at $12,000 & just get cooler from there. Maybe THIS generation will latch onto them like we did Bugs and do their own thing to save the planet! Cool book...buy it!


5 out of 5 stars A SMART book to BUY!   January 9, 2007

3 out of 5 stars Nice table top book   August 2, 2005
  6 out of 6 found this review helpful

The focus of the book is the Smart model range. The presentation is great with excellent glossy pictures throughout. However there is little or nothing regarding technical or production aspects of the Smart range other than what you would find in any advertisement. I personally would have liked to see more behind the scenes information such as prototypes, crash tests and production facilities.

So if you are looking for a Smart Car picture book then this fits the bill perfectly, if you are wanting a little more in-depth information you will be let down. A nice book for the coffee table and not expensive for the quality of presentation. It would make a nice gift for a proud Smart enthusiast.
