The Wall Street Journal, Germany's Der Spiegel, and the Detroit News are all independently reporting that DaimlerChrysler will announce plans to begin selling the super-efficient smart car in the United States in 2007. A little birdie told us to expect the announcement today (Tuesday), but we have yet to hear the good word. All three reports indicated the car would come to the United States in 2007. DaimlerChrysler is widely expected to roll out the next-generation smart ForTwo in April 2007, which would coincide with the US debut. The diminuitive cars popular in Europe for some time, have been available in limited numbers in the States since April, when a car imported called ZAP began bringing the Smart ForTwo in limited numbers to US customers. DaimlerChrysler has officially sold Smart cars in Canada for the past few years. [Left Lane News] via [Digg]
