Yar, like that title "smart pricing".

In ur opinions, how much should these cars be priced in relation to
encourage more sales? Reasonable pricing pls.

A lot of feedbacks I received was that the car is too expensive for it's
size.

Surprisingly, this car is priced around 60-80k our money in countries like
italy and england...i admit its a bit over priced too, but i think that
this car is targetted for youths on the mid - upper class people whom are
single. the smart42 is just nice as it really does grab attention compared
to a vios and city which u can get at that price too..depends on what you
want..maybe it's a good thing too? having a car that you can change the
body panels easily compared to conventional cars, and also not to mention
squeezing around tight traffic which our kancils and kelisa's are doing
nowadays...besides, it's good for those whom are getting their first car,
no need to handle a saloon or whatever car = ez parking and less accidents Big Smile

Yeah... it's like a kapchai to me... they should've priced it at around
RM 20k then only reasonable for a 2 seater. If not, might as well get a
Kancil. Suitable for girls/housewives.

when people considering buying a SMART, i afraid "reasonable" wont come in
at the very first place. after all it's all about LIFESTYLE.

personally, i love it so much and it looks cool to me Cool
