related=Mercedes-Benz MLK-Class It was a smallall wheel drive SUV , riding on the same platform as theMercedes-Benz C-Class . The architecture would be shared with theMercedes-Benz MLK-Class , a proposed SUV that would be smaller than the M-Class. Power would have ranged from a 1.8 Lstraight-4 to a 3.0 LV6 , including Diesel versions. Production was to have been carried out at DaimlerChrysler's factory inJuiz de Fora ,Brazil , rather than the French Smartville factory.The Formore was to be Smart's first official entry in the United States market as a
Mini SUV that seats 4-5. However,DaimlerChrysler is considering a limited entry into the market, with just the Fortwo, essentially in urban areas. Development of the Formore has been halted sinceApril 2005 , due to DaimlerChrysler's monetary concerns (the Smart brand had yet to make a profit after eight years in operation, and the Formore was costing more money to develop than anticipated).External links
