It's Just Like, It's Just Like, a mini-CAR

I am such a geek for small cars - here are some links I saw recently on Car and Driver that make me excited like a little girl...

---
here are a BUNCH of cute small cars to look at, some familiar, some concepts.

First, the Scions -

the old ones -

and the new ones -

Some good press on the Fit -

And what is billed as a fancy Festiva replacement!

A french minicar (make sure and check out the detail photos) -

This is rad - an electric mini with motors in the wheels - note that there isn't a backup mechanical brake system, hence the wood blocks under the wheels in the photos -

A cool Nissan Scion-killer -

A funny-lookin Fiat -

The new Justy. In my opinion - Subaru needs more cars like this in the US! especially if they offer a 4WD again! -

Of course, the Smart ForTwo -

And Toyota's take on it -

And another one from VW, about the same size -

One more cute one, for good measure - designed to look like a sportbike!

Awesome -- I LOVE that diesel-hybrid Citroen and the Mini with the wheel motors is really cool!

Yeah - the Citroen was Marcus' fave, too - Mary and I got to rent a little Citroen C3 in Tahiti - hopefully they will start selling here, too!
