No, this is a car made by Mercedes and was designed by the clock manufacturer SWATCH It has a 600ccm turbo motor with a full or semi-automatic tranny. Absolutely no connection to JZD ! I guess that DMC ha something to do with Daimler-Chrysler ?!? But they had some funnny stories in the beginning. Nice to drive ony icy roads - almost impossible ! Elvis Okay, here's something: You go to http://www.zapworld.com/smart.htm, you click on "Product Specifications", and you read the specifications for the Smart Car, a 60mpg two-seater. At the bottom you see this statement: "Smart is manufactured and marketed in Europe by an unaffiliated party and made US/CA compliant by DMC." Any relation to JZD or his current company? The "zapworld" site sheds no light on the subject. ===================== Brian Henderlong / Tampa, FL To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
