Is Chrysler ever going to come out with a car like the Smart ForTwo or the Honda Fit?

Perhaps. It depends on the market for super small cars. The Smart cars are built by Daimler and so far they have not turned a profit. Now for a little truth. Chrysler NEVER owned Renault. Renault bought American Motors (AMC-Jeep) and Chrysler (under Lee Iaccoca's leadership) bought (AMC-Jeep) from...

Hybrids like Toyota's Prius and the Honda Civic Hybrid get substantially better fuel economy than the Smart, in a much larger package, albeit at a much higher price.
The Toyota Yaris, the most fuel-efficient small hatchback, with ratings of 29 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, feels downright substantial next to the Fortwo, with a real backseat and the legs for occasional distance driving, and the sprightly MINI Cooper is just as good, at 28 mpg city, 37 mpg highway.
The Smart Fortwo is more fun to drive on tight, congested city streets at low speed than even the MINI Cooper.
But as soon as the traffic thins out and the roads open up to the beltways and interstates, the Fortwo's cons—a hard ride, a noisy interior, the lack of power, and tense roadholding—become more serious drawbacks.
Factor in the middling fuel economy of only 33 mpg city, and the "wow" factor is quickly muted.
