Smart Forjeremy’s interior features white leather, diamond-shaped stitching, sleek metallic accents and a futuristic curved steering wheel. The all-electric vehicle is based on Smart’s new Fourtwo Electric Drive. A similar commercial model of Scott’s design — complete with wings — will hit the market in April 2013, priced around $25,000."

"The Italian brand Fiat left the U.S. market nearly three decades ago, and its return in 2011 through an alliance with Chrysler was somewhat underwhelming—at least partly because there weren’t that many dealerships properly prepared to sell the cars.
