    Man, this blows. It used to be I could get a Smart Car, Scion iQ, Mini, Fiat, Subaru hatchback, Ford Focus, the options for small cars were many. Consumer versions of rally cars were amazing. City commuter cars can turn on a dime and park anywhere.

    Now out of the remaining Mini, Fiat, and Smart, they’ve discontinued or are about to discontinue gas vehicles altogether. My speedy turbo Mini will soon be a thing of the past, and that makes me sad.

    Bring back small fun to drive cars!

      Good. EVs might be only a transitional solution but ICE cars need to go ASAP.

      I have a 14 yr old RWD smallish manual coupe “fun car”. I feel your pain. Can’t wait for people to realize how zippy and long-range a tiny little RWD electric can be.
