    I don't think it ever reached the US, but Smart did have a relatively normal 5-door hatchback in Yurp for a while. It was styled to look like the small Smart but was entirely conventional underneath. A few years ago it was killed off, never having sold very well, though the mechanically-identical Mitsubishi model continued.

    Wow!

    The Wikipedia link already has a reference to the deal with Nissan. But it references an article in SFGate, not the press release....

    That was fast!
