The car is doomed. It engine is too big and the car too heavy to get 40+ mpg.

Its too expensive for what you get in room and carrying ability.

They only thing they might be going for is people are dumb enough to buy it.

They might have something there after all...

Yeah, and it is not that much lighter than the Yaris. Plus, no location in the U.S. fits all of Halverson's criteria as we don't have engine-based taxes.
