Last month we had the Triplets, and yesterday two more small city cars were announced, the GM Agila and the Suzuki Splash. It's a good time for small car fans, and there will be more and more fans if gas in America stays above $3/gallon for a while. Would you drive one?

If they perform reasonably well and get 50 mpg, I'd consider one.
But I don't blame people who are afraid to drive a car this small on roads full of big SUVs.

I would love a small car that actually got 50mpg. Currently I have to buy a 15 year old car in the states to get that. Hybrids are an alternative but I would rather save the $10,000 and spend it on something else. We need cheap small cars.
