people have made comments like "I'll be first in line" for these type of subcompact cars. i sincerely hope you're serious. i doubt it though, as y'all are likely to never put that money where your mouth is.
seriously, a subcompact? i'm all for being eco-friendly, but i'm not giving up my v8 (in the truck or the mustang). gas would have to be well over 5 bucks a gallon for that to happen. even still, it won't be for a subcompact.
doesn't mean i wont encourage others to go out and buy it. but at some point someone has to be willing to sack up and lay the money down for one. i just see more people like me out there than people who are going to make this economically feasible in the long-run for america.

Somebody has already been buying Minis, Fits, Versas, Aveos, Scions etc. If Mazda and others are seriously thinking about selling these cars in this market, it isn't because they're hoping to sell a few, it's because they are reasonably sure that they can sell a lot. I'd trust their ability to gauge the market better than I would yours.

Would be nice to have a speed2, a mustang, and a 150 though...
The market is growing, and I will be in the market for a Fiesta as a dialy driver to suppliment a Wrangler and Merkur XR4Ti

So somebody must do something, just not you? That's the most honest comment I've read here in a long time. Sad, but honest.
