It was a 2 seater and needed no gas. Well I'm pretty sure the nano's inspiration was the smart car.

I remember years ago, looking at the original Mini... roomy, small, cute. And later, my brother and I sat in Fiat 500's, BMW 700's, and stared with amazement at my math teacher's Isetta. It's too bad the U.S. government couldn't give a special tax exemption to these amazing, efficient vehicles! With gas approaching $4 a gallon (and soon to rise to $5), we should be promoting these vehicles!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jeffzekas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 22nd 2008 2:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/22/new-york-2008-the-mitsubishi-i-is-a-okei/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/22/new-york-2008-the-mitsubishi-i-is-a-okei/</guid><description><![CDATA[Quick question for Alex Nunez: Is there a Kei car blog-- in english-- which I could visit for current info on these "small wonders"?

Mitsubishi used this vehicle for transport at a car show many months ago in SoCal.  <br><br>The packaging is incredible...even by today's standards.<br>The vehicle is actually rear-engined with the engine neatly tucked away under a cover in the rear.  <br>It's also unexpectedly roomy and quiet.<br>It reminded me of a contemporary/modified adaptation of a classic VW van (more than VW's own).  <br><br>That's a comparison that may not flatter Mitsubishi (perhaps it would), but the car had that "feeling". <br>It's weird ;-)<br> <br>It would be easy to imagine it's success in Japan.  But, here...<br>Well, I guess time will tell.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mdesigner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 22nd 2008 3:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/22/new-york-2008-the-mitsubishi-i-is-a-okei/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/22/new-york-2008-the-mitsubishi-i-is-a-okei/</guid><description><![CDATA[Do they have a 1-liter version of the Mitsubishi i?
