Me likey! Yeah, it's sad that we don't see more of these micro-cars like the 500 and the Polo. Hence the reason I bought the Yaris! I dig the whole European mini car thing. We need more of them on the rode.

hehehe kinda... though honestly there aren't 1000 different shapes you can make a subcompact car, so it's kinda normal to see similar lines between manufacturers...

Fiat also has a model called the panda--very similar specs to our cars. It raced a ferrari modena around a go kart track and came in just 1.6 (?) seconds slower.

yeah, the panda's really boxy, kind of like an italian xB But they have a "sport" version which is supposedly really fun to drive... and I love the advertising in the UK magazines: "Don't pet the panda"

I really like the Fia 500 and the Nissan Micra. Wish we could get them in the US. Maybe we will in a few years, as gas tops $6 per gallon.

Cool little car! I love it! I looooooooooovvvvvvveeeeeeee small cars!! Especially cars like this cause they're like go-karts so they are "fun," and frugel on the wallet.

Oh yeah. The Citroen C1 which is pretty much a rebadged Toyota Aygo and Peugeot (Joint effort). Nice though, but I would take the Toyota in heart beat as I think that's the best looking of the three.

Why do you think Fiat, Renault, Citroen, and several other Italian/French makes left the USA in the last 20+ years? BS reliability. BS value. BS technology....lol

I just love small cars! I just don't see the expensive fast big cars as being all that great to own. Kinda like the Vegas strip. Nice to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. Small, quality cars are always so cool and clever!
