[QUOTE="Nelson Atwell, post: 845545, member: 59102"] We have a lot of these cars in Poland, just not electric versions. The Fiat 500 mentioned in the article is known in Europe as the CinqueCento (500 in Italian). They are usually diesel, and I see them zipping all over the city. The Fiat Panda is also pretty nice and a little larger. Of course we have SMART cars and a few Mini Coopers here. One car I would consider buying is the Nissan Micra. It looks a little like a VW New Bug, but I think the styling is a little nicer. Suzuki also has some nice small cars. The Swift looks nice and gets around 60 mpg. My Suzuki Wagon R+ is ugly as sin, but it is roomy and gets 50 mpg and has good acceleration from a supercharged 1.3 L engine. Get used to it. I think these small cars will become more and more common in the US. The economy is going to be bad for a long time (my guess is at least 5 years and it will get much worse than now), and without decent mass-transit systems people need to find a cheap way to get around.
