...time: a stylish two-seater commuter car that would be ideal for city traffic, small enough to fit in the tiniest of parking spots and highly fuel efficient. It seems like an even better idea now. But 11 years after Mercedes dreamed up the idea with Nicholas Hayek, the creator of Swatch watches, the minute Smart car has become an oversize drain on the automaker's profits. In the first six months of this year, Mercedes plunged into the red because of a massive $1.3 billion restructuring charge it took for its Smart operations...
...troubles afflicting the entire Mercedes group. The car's manufacturing costs are far too high, especially given its relatively small scale--last year the company sold just 150,000 of them.

Tomemos por ejemplo su primer arribo en 1990, a los 23 a?os, a Estados Unidos; siendo ya una estrella en su pa?s, M?xico, tuvo que comenzar de cero en la industria del cine en Los ?ngeles. Despu?s que el director Robert...
