For me it does! How small is too small? This little cutesie little thing has had all the frills revoved from it to save weight and allow it to get "40" Mpg! Now if giving up all its frills allowed it to get 60 to 65Mpg then maybe it would seem a little more in line/attractive.

So I think I'll stay with my "full size", 4 door sedan, with all the bells & whistles, with front & side airbags, front & back that gets "28" Mpg. For me, the "12" more Mpg's this cute little thing below gets is just not worth it!  Comments?

I'll keep the Detroit monster car...

Them little cars offer less protection compared to a bigger car.

The ride comfort etc is not even close to a bigger car.

 I guess they'd be OK for city driving only.

Get in one and go for a holiday with the wife and kids.... lol

I agree Cars it is a bit to small for me as well. In Europe these little cars are all they drive because gas is $5.00 a gallon a up.




Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up worn out screaming what a ride..

Right CARLA, if all the cars were equal in size, then accidents would not be lopsided.

Can you imagine one of these car wannabes in an accident with a Hummer, or Yukon, or Explorer, & or even for that matter, any regular sizr car? They would just have to push the little critter to the side of the road, & put a tombstone on it!

:giantgrin: So true some of the SUV's we have wouldn't even see this bug. It could probably drive right under them.
