smart (automobile)

smart (formerly MCC smart) is a brand of microcars and superminis based in Böblingen, Germany. It is marketed as the "smart" in all lower case, as in the logo. The current smart brand logo (seen on the right) denotes a C for "Compact" and an arrow for "forward thinking".

The name of the company, part of DaimlerChrysler, was changed from Micro Compact Car GmbH to Smart GmbH in September 2002. It was merged with Mercedes-Benz Group in 2006.
