A Possible New Smart SUV - article by CarScoops and design by Aksyonov Nikita

I was looking for articles on the new Smart car that was going to be produced by Geely of China. I found this article by doing a Google / internet search. 

According to the article (note below), it is not by Smart or Geely but I think it is really cool looking. It has an AMC Gremlin look to it.

One can see the back of the vehicle that has that slanted back of an AMC Gremlin. If Smart doesn't use it, perhaps use it as an updated Gremlin for a revived AMC brand (just thinking out loud - to some AMC is gone for good but it is nice to dream about it coming back [perhaps Chrysler could revive the brand for electric cars? - alas also just thinking out loud]).

One can see the slanted back to the right of this photo. If AMC could be brought back, one would hope they would use the designs by Hot Rod; 'AMC Concept Cars; The Return of AMC'. 

I think even this has a Gremlin type look to it yet it also has that Smart look to it.

I hope someone makes it since I think it is really nice looking. 

The article is linked below. It shows the photos of the Smart car shown in the article and a note below it. I 'borrowed' some of the photos.

'note; the Fortwo SUV illustrations pictured were independently made by Aksyonov Nikita and are in no way endorsed by, made or related to Smart' 

these photos are from this site;

My Smart Car Is No More

 This is a short post / blog. It is about my second Smart Fortwo which was a Passion and 2012 which I bought in 2015. I had traded in my 2008 Smart Fortwo Pure which I had ordered in 2007. The first one was ordered online (something I have never done before). I enjoyed driving the two cars for a total of 12 years; 2008 to 2020. 

With Smart stopped selling the Fortwo in the USA and the last couple of years with them only selling the ED / electric version in the USA, it was getting harder to repair my little car since it was harder to get parts. It was

I don't remember how many miles my first one had. My second Smart car had over 109,000 miles on it. I am not sure it was made to last that long. 

I now drive a 2005 Jeep Liberty. It has more space, more seats than the Smart car. I drove my Smart for 12 years. It was time to move on; especially since Smart abandoned the US market. 

This doesn't mean I won't post other things about the Smart car or the Smart company. I have read that Smart was sold to a Chinese company and that they might come out with a SUV version (which might make it more appealing to more people; IMO).
