Gas powered Smart cars will no longer be sold in the United States and Canada after 2017, according to a letter written by Mercedes Benz CEO Dietmar Exler to car dealerships across the United States. In April, Daimler Chrysler, the parent company of Smart will stop production of gas powered Smart cars and only continue sales until they are sold out. The sales of Smart cars have been erratic since their development in 2008. They sold 24,622 cars in 2008 but only 5,927 in 2010. They have also seen a steady decline in sales since 2014.
