MB dealers don't want to sell Smart Cars

Mercedes dealer council chairman says MB dealers in the States do not want to sell Smart Cars in their Mercedes show room. It may hurt their image. Does this mean that MB buyers are not "smart"? Which brings up the old but true joke: What do you say Mercedes in German?..................................... Taxi. Yes, MB are well built cars, the top end models are very exclusive, but they also sell basic models that are good for basic transportation, including used as Taxis in Germany. So what exact image does the MB dealers want to project?
