Smart car celebrates with Hermès leather
14/11/2008
Daimler AG's Smart car brand has introduced a new model to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its launch.
The new Smart fortwo was unveiled at a ceremony in Paris, revealing an interior fitted out in leather from luxury brand Hermès. Some observers have commented that the car, which will retail at €39,000, could be ideal for wealthy people who feel self-conscious about showing off too much in, say, a new Bentley Continental, but still want luxury during the credit crunch.
Daimler says sales of Smart cars are holding up well, while the group's overall sales have dropped dramatically.
