smart Cars Invade NYC

      Europe's beloved small car brand, not yet on sale in the U.S.,
          is the official automotive sponsor of the 2004 ING New
       York City Marathon and will lead the field during the race.

   WHAT:    A unique photo opp with the race winners, a Marathon
            representative, the VP for smart USA, Dave Schembri, and the
            smart fortwo.

            At eight feet short, two smart fortwo will fit crosswise into
            one standard parking spot!

   WHY:     "Follow me" smarts and timing cars will lead the field during
            the race.  While the brand is not currently on sale in the U.S.,
            smart vehicles, beginning with an all new small SUV model, will
            arrive for eager urbanites in 2006.

   WHEN:    Sunday, November 7, 2004 12:00 p.m. (prior to the awards
            ceremony)
