Smart fortwo wins "Best Retained Value"

The smart fortwo recently received the Canadian Black Book award for "Best Retained Value". Designed to identify specific models that outperform their competitors, the awards are based on real performance and measure actual value retained after a four year period.

The awards determine a vehicle's ability to retain its value from its original MSRP and are based on data gathered from four-year old passenger cars and light-trucks under $70,000.

"We are grateful to all of the loyal smart fortwo owners for placing their confidence in our brand, and we are very happy to provide strong residual values a an additional benefit of ownership. The unique smart fortwo continues to be an intelligent choice for mobility because it provides class-leading fuel efficiency and versatility in a safe and fun-to-drive package. These are the trademark characteristics that have allowed us to expand the smart family to more than 15,000 strong in Canada since the vehicle's introduction five years ago."
