A Brief History of smart Cars

Plenty of Test County residents choose to drive smart cars. smart is a German automotive brand that is a division of Daimler AG (who also owns Mercedes-Benz). The company produces microcars and subcompacts. The name “smart derives from the Swiss company Swatch and Mercedes-Benz; smart stands for "Swatch Mercedes ART." In 1982, Swatch CEO Nicolas Hayek began developing an idea for a new car, one that is small and fit for city dwellers. His idea became known as the "Swatchmobile." Hayek approached several car manufacturers, and in 1991, he reached an agreement with Volkswagen to share development of the new project. However, the project was terminated two years later when Volkswagen changed CEOs.

On March 4, 1994, a deal was announced with Mercedes Benz and Swatch at a press conference in Stuttgart. The company also unveiled two concept cars: the eco-sprinter and eco-speedster. As part of this new convergence, the name of these cars was changed from "smartmobiles" to “smart cars.” The car launched successfully in nine European countries in October 1998; although, it wasn't a hybrid like Hayek had hoped but rather just a car fully powered by gasoline. Until April 2019, smart remained under the Mercedes-Benz cars’ division of Daimler AG. In March 2019, Geely, a Chinese global automotive company, purchased a 50% stake.

Our Reviews

First time at the little caesars arena and I was definitely impressed. The food was expensive but good. And parking was more than the tickets!! But it was a great experience and definitely worth the time and money. Everything was super clean and everyone was super nice as well. There’s a lot to choose from as far as food and plenty of beer everywhere. Parking had a lot of space and u don’t have to worry about anything happening to ur car while ur at the game. It was a super good night and we plan to do this again. I also wanted to add that down town Detroit looks so much better these days!! A lot of effort has been put into cleaning up down town and it’s really starting to show now.

I was a first time visitor to Detroit for the Claressa Shields fight and this was the perfect arena for the event. There were plenty of restaurants inside to grab a quick bite and drinks. It also.was pretty clean. I would return if I visited Detroit again

I usually don’t expect much from arena food, but this one actually hit. Picked up The Coop Tenders during a Detroit Pistons game at Little Caesars Arena, and it ended up being one of the better food choices inside the arena. The chicken tenders were hot, crispy, and well-seasoned, with a nice crunch on the outside and juicy meat inside—nothing dry or overcooked. The portion size was fair for arena food and filling enough to enjoy without feeling like you overpaid for what you got. What really made it stand out was the sauce. It’s a mix of BBQ and ketchup, and it surprisingly works really well—sweet, tangy, and perfect for dipping the tenders. Simple, but it complements the chicken nicely and keeps you going through the game. Service was quick and efficient, which is key during a packed Pistons game when lines can get long. Overall, for arena food standards, The Coop Tenders definitely exceeded expectations. If you’re at a Pistons game and want something reliable, hot, and satisfying, this spot is worth stopping at.

This place now holds a special place in my heart, because on July 24th 2025. I saw ghost with the fam and it changed me mentally and the experience was magical. And the arena was the best place to make that happen.

Was able to purchase tickets that included the Comerica Players Club as an add on. Obviously what I paid was steep but it was worth the money. This is one of 3 or 4 club experiences offered for Redwings games. We had seats in sections behind RW bench with access to the coolest restaurant that can be visited pre game and until beginning of 3rd period. The food was amazing and prepared, served Ala cart. All you can eat. Had salad bar, cold cut cheese bar, Cocktail bar and deserts. All in an awesome restaurant pavilion type seating right under the sections where you watch the game. Kid friendly, top notch experience. Vip restrooms. Staff was top tier and we had a great time. RW locker room is next door so you see the players walk through between periods. So cool. I believe there are less financially taxing options with the other game experience add-ons available. Worth it though even if its just one time.

This is a beautiful Arena. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Very clean. I came to see Druski Security was on it. They made sure everyone was safe and sat in the right seats. I ordered food and it was hot and fresh. The bathrooms were also clean. The workers were constantly wiping everything down. I enjoyed myself,
