I really miss my tiny 1986 Toyota Corolla. My 2016 Prius is not supposed to be a big car and yet it is still bigger than that Corolla. Both sedans. If anything, the Prius should be smaller because it’s a hatchback and those used to be the smaller cars.

At the time, the Corolla didn’t feel small either. Every car is too big now except maybe Minis and Fiats.

My imaginary dream car would be an EV Nash Metropolitan. It’s got 2 doors, a front and a back seat and a decent-sized trunk. I don’t haul stuff, there’s only three people in my family, I really don’t need anything else.

Small cars have poor crash test ratings, and the ratings are much stricter than they used to be. That’s why you can’t really find small cars any more.

Except, like I said, there are Minis and Fiats. And, of course, all the small cars in practically every other country on the planet. If Fiat can sell the 500 in the U.S., any U.S. company could sell a similar small car.

Doesn’t meet standards dude, wheter it’s crash rating or fuel economy, bumper height or whatever.

They aren’t here since they can’t sell them, but claim It’s possible I guess? It’s weird you think they just aren’t selling them because they don’t want to….
