If it would have DOT approval he WOULD have told you so!

Interesting, I saw a Mercedes Benz North America Vice President at my
local dealer here in Pennsylvania. He was driving a smart from dealer
to dealer trying to gauge reaction. He also declined to answer my
question about meeting DOT standards. (It was dealer registered for PA
though).

I was whatching legally blonde 2 at the cinema (I had to do it for the other
half), and at the end they drove off in a smart cabriolet.

Now I know American films are full of product placement, and plenty of shots
of the Audi TT.

But I am confused about the inclusion of the Smart, clearly driving in
Washington. Is this to get Americans ready for the day when Smart does hit
the streets of the USA? Was it to judge reaction?
