Smart Cars Selling Like Hot Cakes

By Jeramey Jannene - Feb 12th, 2008 11:40 am

The Smart Car already has a year waiting list in Milwaukee, with over 400 orders being placed by February 1st. The first dealership was opened by Bergstrom next to their Hummer dealership at 11330 West Metro Boulevard near the intersection of Good Hope Road, Highway 145, Highway 45 North.

You may laugh at the irony of a Hummer dealership next to a Smart Car dealership, but it’s nothing short of the principles of natural capitalism at work.

As you may remember, I had hyped the Smart Car in an earlier post as something that was a stepping stone to a better urban Milwaukee.

Thanks to IllustriousBean for snagging the photo.

Check out the Bergstrom Smart Car website for more information.

@Tetsuo

It’s actually just inside Milwaukee County and still in the city of Milwaukee. Any sale there helps the city and county tax rolls.
