Changes to the 2011 model

Did anyone see the new flyers out showing the changes to the 2011 model?

Cruise control will be availalbe now as an option. More choices will be availalble to upgrade the look of your smart but of course at an additional price. I'm still waiting for them to offer the diesel engine once again in Canada. Not for 2011 obviously.

They are changing the colour of those black rock plates below the door and the front and back bottom plates to match the colour of the panels. It will give it more the Brabus look. Unless you're a smartie, I doubt that anyone will notice much difference. There are a few more changes on the inside. More to do with the instrument panel and radio being a touch screen now. From what I can tell, they've simply stripped down a lot to keep the base price the same and have added many more items as options.; ▶ Reply to This

I talked to someone at M-B, he told me that it's a regulation problem with Transport Canada. Every time they want to introduce a new engine, they must re-homologate the entire car, not only the engine. Which cost a lot of $$$... It's the same reason why we don't have the Brabus engines too... Sadly... :(; ▶ Reply to This

I think I may finally know what is going on with the on going problem. The first winter I had my smart, I was washing it often trying to keep it clean and free of road salt. I would make a point of spaying the underside of the car. When i was havi…

Same thing happened in Canada afther they introduced the "old" 450 version. Firs year, you had to wait 6-8 month to receive your car. 2 years later, they had a bunch in dealers lots... Sales from the firs years can't count in a real analysis. They a…
