You're funny!
Apparently people like them a lot last time I checked (sales numbers).

What I want to see is that 1980 Subaru on a showroom floor with a $4600 price tag on it.

How many of those would they sell?

I have to point out that many city commutes are relatively short, or if there is city driving included in a longer commute, that portion is relatively short.

many people get away with poor mileage cars in short city commutes because even at 15 mpg and 60 miles per week (of true city commute), it costs only $16/week.

if I lived in the city and had an all city commute, I probably would get a 15 yr old beater that gave me 15 mpg. at least most folks I know that live in the city and work in the city don't drive very many miles per week.
