The World's Smallest Cars

Great article on Dark Roasted Blend about the world's smallest cars. A product of traffic and parking problems in high-density urban areas, small cars have a lot of redeeming qualities.


They are endlessly practical, often cute and mostly easy on your wallet. While you'd need to sacrifice much of your space and comforts, you'll have a reward of being considered ecologically and street 'smart.'

Some of the models can go 40 km per liter (100 miles per gallon), which is advertised as 'almost cheaper than walking.'
Of course, soccer moms will still need vans and macho fathers will still need a Hummer statement, but if you live in the urban area these little critters may be just for you. They certainly speak to our sense of esthetic and evoke a strong desire to hug them and pat them on the back.
