German car maker Daimler says it’s getting ready to start selling its fuel-sipping Smart car at U.S. dealerships, including two in Ohio.
The tiny two-seat vehicles get 40 miles per gallon and have a base price of about $11,600. They’re entering the U.S. market after a decade of sales in Europe.
A Smart dealership in the Cleveland suburb of Bedford is expected to open in mid-January. The company says a Columbus “Smart center” will arrive next month.
