The French firm formally...
The French firm formally declared hostilities when it issued a hugely provocative statement alleging that a petrol-electric hybrid power unit such as that in the Toyota Prius is "much more costly and no greener" than a diesel engine in a Renault Mégane. What"s more, it claims its car costs up to ÷£5,050 less than the Japanese offering.
Visitors to the Bread...
Visitors to the Bread and Butter show in Berlin can view the collection of body panels. There are 20 in total, and each features a unique design.
Unfortunately, none of the doors is for sale, so ForFour fans won"t be able to snap them up and swap them with standard panels.
Manufacturer DaimlerChrysler has fitted the doors to a convoy of models used to ferry VIPs around the Bread and Butter expo, which the firm is sponsoring.
A spokeswoman for Smart said: "It"s a live installation which shows our position as an urban brand." Visit www.breadandbutter.com for further details of the event.
