Want to get up close and personal with the newly-announced smart  
fortwo but don't want to wait for its April 2007 debut?  Mercedes has  
announced today that rather than subjecting you to an agonizing four  
month wait, they'll instead be hosting a "smart story" exhibit at  
their museum from December 6th through January 14th which will  
showcase the design evolution of the smart brand, from its initial  
concept way back in 1993 up through its current, soon-to-debut new  
style.

In total, there will be 18 different smart vehicles on display,  
ranging from design studies, prototypes and show cars, many of which  
have never before been presented to the public.

Here's what Anders Sundt Jensen, Vice President for Marketing and  
Sales at smart, has to say about the smart being on display: "The  
smart fortwo belongs in a museum - because it challenges the status  
quo and calls on people to rethink their perceptions, because  
following its market launch in October 1998 it quickly became a cult  
vehicle. And last but not least, because we are not only showing the  
past, with the new smart fortwo we are also showing the future."
