Yesterday, Dallas resident Patrick Zipper took delivery of the 20,000th Smart ForTwo sold in the United States, marking an early milestone for the small car manufacturer. Smart’s 20,000th sale comes just 10 months after the brand was introduced to U.S. consumers - and well ahead of the company’s U.S. distributors’ expectations. Smart USA’s president was on hand at Smart Center Dallas, one of the nation’s top-selling dealerships, to help Zipper take delivery of his new car. He told the Dallas Morning News that he expects Smart to see a small uptick in sales next year even as gas prices have dropped substantially in the last handful of weeks. “People are buying for more reasons than fuel consumption,” he said. “We are selling a lifestyle, a journey.”
