The Mercedes-Benz Daimler parent company plans to get properly into the supermini scene with the new Smart ForFour due for launch in the latter part of this year, writes Brian Byrne.
The car will have similar front and rear treatments as the FourJoy Concept 'buggy' shown at Frankfurt, but will be a full-featured car.
Renault will build it for Daimler, using the same architecture as the next generation Twingo.
Although no further details are available, expect a small petrol 3-pot for power. The FourJoy featured an electric power unit, so there may eventually be one of those too.
