Orlando Smart Center Holds National Record
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jun 30, 2009 – The Orlando smart center celebrated it’s one-year anniversary on February 8, 2009 by hosting an event of record-breaking stature; the largest gathering of smart ForTwos in the country. An amazing 207 ForTwos and their owners gathered at the Orlando smart center’s Mall at Millenia location and quickly crushed, by 70 cars, the previous record holding smartcar event, held last fall in San Francisco, California.
The Orlando smart center’s daylong anniversary celebration was a combination of enthusiast meet-and-greet, custom car competition and barbeque. The Central Florida smart car club coodinated the event in conjunction with Orlando smart center Brand Manager, Julie Morelli. Although turn-out for the event was staggering since the initial goal was to attract a total of 50 ForTwos, it does not suprise Ken Wager, President of the Central Florida smart car club.
“I’m ecstatic about these results,” Wager said. “I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. But really it doesn’t come as much of a surprise, not to me anyway. You don’t own one of these cars if you’re not at least a little social. They draw a lot of attention.”
No two cars of the 207 in attendance were exactly alike, and the same was true for their owners, who ranged from business owners to surfers to grandmothers, each with a car representing their individual personality. And there was no such shortage of enthusiasts willing to show off their rides or brag on the many attributes of the smart car. One attendee bragged about filling his gas tank only once every two months or so while another has turned his ForTwo into a rolling billboard for his business; something he sees as a double win - he advertises his business while saving money on gas driving back and forth to work daily on Central Florida’s notoriously congested roadways.
David Schembri, president of smart USA, was also in attendance and took the opportunity to answer attendee questions in an open forum address in honor of the event’s historic status. Schembri commented on plans to launch electric versions for the ForTwo as early as 2010.
The Orlando smart center sold an average of 30 cars per month in 2008 and Julie Morelli states initial sales in 2009 show no signs of slowing down as enthusiasm for the car spreads and gas prices again begin to climb. “Everyone came by here just because they wanted a fuel-efficient car, but now they realize how safe the car is and so they’re buying it for the kids who go to high school or college or buying it for themselves because it’s such a fun car to drive. There’s just so much to like about the car”, says Morelli.
The Orlando smart center is located at 4225 Millenia Boulevard in Orlando and is open from 9 AM - 6 PM Monday - Saturday, and 12 PM - 4 PM on Sunday. To preview a smart car or to set an appointment to test drive, you may contact the dealership at 888-409-7446 or via the website at www.smartcenterorlando.com.
