I thought this would be a good link to post here..............
http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1423/the-mini-car-wars-heat-up/
I know, we talk about mini cars all the time here - I thought it was very interesting that mini cars are finally getting their deserved popularity......IN AMERICA!!:lol: It's also worth noting that we already have several of these - namely the Mazda 2 and the Ford Fiesta. The NEW Spark is being shown at the Beijing auto show as we 'speak', and if Geely gives us it's way cool IG, we can do without the Scion I think (besides, the IG has gull wing doors - where else can you find that????). The only thing we need here?? The Juke - and it's 180 horsepower!!!!!:mygod: It would be pricey here as it would need to be imported (well over 200,000rmb I think) - but WOW - imagine driving THAT over here??
It's great that America is FINALLY waking up to the advantages (AND the fun) of a small/mini car, and this is just the beginning - more will be on the way. The Fiat 500 should be there soon (come on Fiat, we need that here too), I'm sure Honda has something up their sleeves, and what about the Hyundai Getz or i10? Maybe the Toyota Aygo? LOTS of choices if the manufacturers decide to really go for it - IT'S ABOUT TIME.
