I really like the leather!

I wish that smart offered something other than black leather! I really like the cinnamon brown and beige mix. Or the brown that was on the Limited Edition that the Canadians got. Even the blue/green leather on the Hermes was pretty cool. OR a medium tan or beige would be great . . . anything other than BLACK!

BTW, they pulled out the glove box, that sorta sux.

That's a big project! I wish you all the best! Indeed...
And don't forget to take pictures during the process, just in case someone wants to follow your steps. Thanks.

The glove box is actually optional outside of North America.

A few of the things are strange on our cars... the Passion elsewhere gets the 2 spoke wheel standard and the 3 spoke sport wheel with paddles is optional. There's also the "Pulse" model, which sits between the Pure and Passion, and serves as a sportier model without all of the frills of the Passion as standard.

Actually, the Passion comes with a turbo and delivers 84HP, I know cause I've got one

Even though the Hermes car looks nice and is good on emissions, they weren't thinking COMPLETELY CLEARLY!

-How many cows does it take cover a Hermes Smart in leather?

-As compared to 2 leather Smart seats

-$48,500 Wouldn't ever pay that much for that thing. I'd say $25,000 max sounds better

every interior surface is covered in either leather or Hermes own Toile H canvas. Even the tridion safety cell gets covered in the tweed.
