i never understood any of the manufactuers possibly with the exception of chrysler who never really had a huge european market in the first place, but ford and GM have been successfully making small cars for years in europe.
maybe they beleive americans do not want them because of all the hype surrounding how unsafe they are.
10 years ago i would have put my brand new supermini up against many of the cars rolling on american roads.
i hate out here however that they insist on an autobox for a small car... if it is small ( 2.0 or less ) give me a manual trans anyday
