LONDON — Smart has upgraded the 2011 Fortwo with modest styling changes and some performance enhancements. Prices in the U.K. start at $13,765.
The Fortwo's front and rear aprons, side skirts and filler cap are now finished in body color, and there are new exterior colors and alloy wheel designs.
The interior gets a redesigned dashboard with restyled gauges, new steering wheel and glovebox designs and better fabric and color choices. The Fortwo also gets iPod/USB connectivity and, on high-line models, a navigation system.
Smart has cut emissions and improved performance on various models. The 71-hp micro-hybrid gas engine now emits just 97g/km of CO2. The flagship Xclusive variant gets a boost in output to 102 horsepower, with 0-to-60-mph acceleration trimmed to less than 8.9 seconds.

They say the price at starting, but not the flagship or hybrid. I wonder how much those will cost?
