Autoblog (photo above is from Autoblog) is poised to beg for Nissan to bring its popular Micra 160 SR to America. Featuring a 1.6 engine that generates 110 horsepower, the Micra gets according to Auto Express 42.8 MPG. I think it looks better than the Mini Cooper. I also have good reason to believe it's far more reliable. If it comes to the United States, I may have to sell my gas-hungry Maxima for its antithesis, the Micra.

Couldn't wait for Nissan, et al...I'm picking up my Smart for Two Coupe Saturday. Wheee!

I assume the Smart Car costs about 15K. Gas mileage is about 60 MPG?
City driving only?

BMW is bringing back the Isseta to the USA, click http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/05/bmw-bringing-ba.html to read story.
Back in the 1960s, the Isseta dealer was located at Marine and Hawthrone Blvd in Lawndale.

Tom, their timing is good. I may need to sell my gas-guzzler Maxima and get a sipper soon.

Tom, I don't trust car drivers enough to ride a motorcycle, a Vespa, even a bicycle.

Not in the South Bay area anyway! I have a friend that owns 3 Vespas.

My wife likes them. But around here they're not safe.
