smart display on exhibit at Place des Arts in Montreal (October 26, 2004)
A temporary exhibit presenting a sculpture created out of car backseats is now on display at Place des Arts in Montreal. Over 12 feet tall, the sculpture metaphorically asks visitors: who needs backseats? Developed by Mercedes-Benz Canada, this exhibit presents the smart fortwo, a new automotive concept designed for individuals who seldom have a need for a backseat.
Research has shown that, on average, a car carries only 1.2 occupants to work. With comfortable seating for two, the smart fortwo offers an economical and ecological solution to all those empty backseats. A smart fortwo coupe cdi and smart fortwo cabriolet cdi are also onsite so visitors can experience the vehicles firsthand and smart personnel are available to answer questions. The exhibit will run for one week, from October 26 to November 1, and can be found at street level on Ste-Catherine Street, between Jeanne-Mance and St-Urbain. The smart fortwo coupe cdi starts at $16,500 while the smart fortwo cabriolet cdi will retail from $19,500. Both models are available in three design lines: pure, pulse and passion. Currently, smart vehicles are sold through a network of 43 smart Centres located in Mercedes-Benz dealerships across the country.
