Great We ask for a Mini Copper-ish kind of smallcar/hatchback and this is what we get. But I suppose for a bit over $10K I should be happy it has 4 wheels and tires.

I saw a tv ad for a car a few years back - I actually think it was a Toyota. "Over 200 standard features!"

I'm thinkin... Wheels,tires,brake lines,seats,seatbelts,headlights,brake lights,windows,windshield,doors,bumpers,carpet,hea dliner.....

I wish they came up with something reasonable. The Hyundai Accent will probably be better then that thing.

I'm all for buying new cars, but if I were in that price range, I'd much much rather buy a quality 1 or 2 year old car than go that route...

You can get a nice Malibu or Taurus or something like that... compared to those little rollerskates, they are Cadillacs

It must have been the overwhelming outcry from abandoned Metro enthusiasts that got this one built... I don't really see the need or market for something this small, but hey, if they want to bring a rebadged Daewoo over here why not?
