OMG, I can just see one of those on the interstate getting knocked into
the median by the draft of a big semi. The only plus I see with that
tiny car is that it should be easy to find a parking spot, assuming I
can make it to my destination without being run off the road.

Second thought, I would much rather have a Honda Civic Hybrid than this
tiny car.

At the price of $16,000 for that midget two passenger car, to drive on
American highways, to save a relative few hundred dollars a year, one would
be better off just buying a actual
coffin for $5,000

We have Stupid cars already up here in Canada.

I must say, they look most utterly strange on the highway among the SUV's,
like mobile phone booths. And next to a semi, like roadkill waiting to
happen.

I measured one of these things once to see just how much room there was
between bumper and steering wheel, and I came up with forty inches. That's
right, just over one yard between whatever you ran into and you. Go measure
your own car. How much distance is there in that location? On my Integra, I
get 70", almost double the "crumple zone".

I notice the Stupid's length has been increased by a whopping 3" for the
2008 model year, this in order to to "improve safety". Sorta tells ya
something, doesn't it?

Actually, it is a perfect car for people in NYC. They're small enough so
that you can just drive them into the elevator and park them in the
corner of your cubical for the day.
