I like em and have seen them in person here in the states and in Japan If I was looking for a commuter car I would take a strong look at them. The crash testing I've seen always shows them doing very well dispite there small size. Americans really need to get over this small is crap bullshit.

The 4 seat version is actualy bigger than my MGB and the 2 seat is only 2 feet shorter than a real mini but wider than it.
