It's kind of a joke to say Wal-Mart sells everything. Does Wal-Mart sell electric cars? Well, this Christmas... they do sell electric cars! Sam's Club, a unit of Wal-Mart stores Inc, will sell an electric car in a Christmas promotion November 8 through December 29. The car is the Mercedes-Benz Smart and it's actually on Sam's Club front page right now below a pre-order of Guitar Hero.

For the low, low price of $35,000 you also get lithium-ion batteries from Hybrid Technologies, bringing the car's range to over 100 miles per charge. That bouncy, yellow, happy face is not done with you yet: Along with being the only owner of the Hybrid Technology's Smart, you also get a trip to the Kennedy Space Center! The Sam's Club site says this is a Once-in-a-Lifetime offer "you won't get a second chance at."

We also skimmed through the more detailed German press release (see the English one here) learning a few additional facts. The most significant were that the M3 Sedan goes from 9 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 4,9 sec (a tenth of a second slower than the Coupe) and that it weighs 1,680 kg – 3,704 lbs (25kg – 55 lbs more than the E92 M3 Coupe). -Follow the jump for the image gallery
