The DaimlerChrysler AG division looks to improve on its approximate half million units sold to date, by tapping into the lucrative North American market.

The four-seat micro car that will be sold here at home will be made in Brazil. This marks a first for the Smart division that up until now has produced all of its cars in Europe.

The Juiz de Fora facility currently builds Mercedes A-Class cars for its domestic market (Brazil) as well as C-Class models for North, Central and South America.
