A Chocolate Smart ForTwo for Valentine's Day

Looking for the perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day in Japan? The first thing you need to know is that the Japanese don't celebrate February 14 like we do in the West. For them, it's an occasion for women to buy men chocolate and other chocolate-related gifts. Like this chocolate-themed car from luxury chocolatier/jeweler Q-Pot.

Designed by Q-Pot's foudner Tadaaki Wakamutsu, this special-edition Smart ForTwo has gotten a thorough chocolate-themed paint job to celebrate the holiday, and is available for order at 2.36 million yen – a considerable premium over the standard 1.84 million yen price tag on a Smart ForTwo in Japan.

We've seen the Hermes Bugatti, now here's a Hermes edition that many more people can afford. Hermes has designed a set of Hermes-lined Smart Cars to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Smart Fortwo. The cars come in 10 colors including gold, indigo, and the Hermes orange. The exterior hasn't been touched but inside there are leather-wrapped steering wheels and gear-shift covers and an interior covered in the Hermes' signature canvas "toile H." It sells for €38,000 (around $48,500) through the Como dealership in Paris.
