To commemorate 10 years spent at the Grand Palais, Hermès unveiled its very own smart car. No, not just a stylish automobile, but an actual Smart Car, as in a reasonably priced, fuel efficient teeny weeny auto. Check it: I must backtrack for a moment to admit that “reasonably priced” is a relative term. The average, run-of-the-mill Smart Car costs about 12k, but this here beauty will run you ever so slightly less than 50 large. Which, to be fair, is still eminently more reasonable than this delish croc bomber from their fall/winter 08 catalog. No price is listed, but I asked at the store. $148,000. Not including tax.
