Black on Black The smart was initially available only in left-hand-drive
form, since the design of the floorpan did not allow for
right-hand-drive conversions. This restricted it’s avail-

issue by designing a ’mirror image’ floorpan for right-

Dashboard The Smart fortwo was introduced in Canada in 2004 and
sold through Mercedes-Benz dealers. Only the turbo-
diesel powerplant was offered for the coupé and convert-
ible models because of tough emission regulations for
gasoline engines dictated by Transport Canada. Demand
was initially heavy, with up to six-month waiting lists in
major urban areas in the spring of 2005. The vehicle has
proven especially popular for light errand running for
small shops and businesses, with many carrying custom
paint jobs or stick-on graphics boldly advertising the as-
sociated product or service.
In 2008, Canada only received the gasoline model be-
