smart, Smart, or smart car?
smart is correctly spelled all lower case but many people incorrectly capitalize the S and some people have called it a "smart car" but that is also incorrect.

foryou, forme, foreveryone
Some say fort wo, others 42/fourtwo but it is a fortwo which comes from the number of people it holds (for two). While there used to be a forfour, a concept forfun along with the idea of a formore today smart only produces the fortwo.

C>
The smart logo is a C with an arrow head C> which is used to represent compact and forward thinking.

open your mind.
Helping change the way people think about a car, a car manufacturer and think about a smart is why smart adopted the slogan open your mind.
