oh contraire, amigo... my love for kei cars is bordering on the psychotic! Cars like the Suzuki Cappuccino, Daihatsu Mira, Suzuki Alto, Honda Beat, et al really turn my crank as of late. i just really like small cars, cars that were never shipped here. Why else do you think i drive a car like a Chevy Sonic?
| I really like the small cars also. Have you looked at the Smart car? the petrol version? 2nd gen, 2007-2014. They are quite cheap here, and are quite fun with some mods. Things have not really caught on with them in North America, yet.

They are quite roomy inside. The petrol version is a Mitsubishi engine, much better than the diesel offered. As a little fun car, I am considering it. Prices start around $2,500.
| in all honesty, if I live to buy another car, it will have to be a 'foreign' car due to manual transmission availability. i don't like automatic transmissions and the big three have summarily shitcanned not only manuals, but small cars as well. I don't need or want a gargantuan SUV or pickup. I don't need it. I have a 96 F150 4x2 i inherited from my father and should do just fine for any pickup-mission needs. it's getting kind of weird in car world, honestly. I am not on the electric car bandwagon as I don't think the infrastructure is there, nor do I think it's a proper replacement for petroleum-fueled cars... anyways, felt in a comment-y mood. sorry.

| smart shift manual transmission https://youtu.be/IbQdL6mvdH4 This KAWASAKI ZX10R Engined SMART CAR IS *BONKERS* https://youtu.be/aWBjUJmaxWg I do not believe electric cars are anywhere near being ready for market. For the price, and massive depreciation on Tesla's vehicles. They are a ridiculous choice. When every gas station has charging stations then I imagine there will be other better choices.

| exactly. Where i live, in rural northeastern New York state, we literally measure distance between destinations in hours. How many charging stations would need to be along the Adirondack Northway (I-87) for traffic moving between Albany and Montreal? How many would there need to be considering a recharge takes what? an hour to three hours? On top of that, where is all this electricity going to come from to power these cars and trucks? I can't speak for Oh Canada, but here in the US, our electric infrastructure is old, outdated and stretched pretty thin as is. Here in my part of New York and over in Vermont, all of our electricity comes most from Ontario and HydroQuebec, especially after the nuclear plant in Vernon, Vermont was shut down a few years back (Vermont Yankee). Anyways, that's my gripe and i have seen that Kawi-powered Smart car before... the acceleration on that thing is frightening! Sorry for the ranty poo.
