Smart USA, the European microcar, has made a deal with a New York City parking lot owner so two cars can park for the price of one at city lots. The Smart is just over 8 feet long and two Smart Cars will fit easily in one space. Myers Parking will give 50% off daily and monthly posted parking.
Myers Parking is said to have initiated the contact with Smart, falling for the Smart Car marketing ploy that parking is as important as fuel mileage.
