    I think those compare to Minis, and the like, more than smartcars and such.

    Smartcars are for cheap... Fiats and Minis aren't.

    That said... not really sure how "loaded" you can get a Smartcar...

    She must have got a lot of options on it. That is the one with the soft top I think.

    Yeah, it is a convertible. Different color also, one of their old colors from the early days. Verde Chiaro, think Pesto color and that is about right.

    Anyone heard of a car called the Nano? Built by an Indian automotive giant Tata Motors. It costs about $2000 USD.

    It is about as spartan a car as you can get these days.

    Doubt that would be allowed to be imported here. We have strict safety standards...I suspect it wouldn't meet. Happens a lot to much cooler cars than that.

    Oh yeah, it does not come close to meeting safety standards here. Though it was never made to be exported outside Asia anyway.

    And when talking about much cooler cars could you be talking about Kei Trucks? :p

    In all seriousness those little things are great for many small businesses. Too bad they are only legal in Oklahoma and Louisiana.

    They are great for landscapers, delivery drivers, some trades people and various other service providers. Ideal in the city Also good for famers and ranchers. They have either a gas or diesel 2 cyl engine and come in different configurations -- including van, dump box and 4WD.

    Instead you see people here driving around in full sized pickups for jobs that they could use kei trucks for. Thank you government bureaucracy and safety paranoia.
