oh yeah, I want to see Americans(no offense) adjusting to that

1.4L diesel - 54HP(wtf-ridiculous) - low power to increase MPG like crazy

Yes
In Europe it's popular because of the size
You go ahead and live in Rome with an average size car and let me know

I don't think we will be seeing a lot (if it will be imported here) in the states given the no-space restrictions and with all the humongous cars on the roads

Has anyone seen the Top Gear episode where they play a round of football with these?

It was fun to see how tough they can be when slammed around chasing the ball, e-brake pull to steal the ball from an opponent, etc.

well the idea is great, high MPG, low costs / cheap ... I just don't see many people going for it. Hell I don't see myself doing it just because of the embarassment I'd have to put up with. The mindset of peeps here in the US has to change first... Well I'll guess I'll hold off until gas hits 5$/gal

I'd be on this thing is a millesecond... and mod the hell out of it... drop the sucker... add some cool exterior/interior upgrades, and it'd be a fun car that sure'd get a ton of attention...

It's all about MSRP though... Love the modded look one!

That car was an EVO Car of the Year last year. The 1.0L gets 60+ mpg!

Super great little car. They sell the absolute crap out these things in Europe.

just as long as they don't sell 'em at the price of those smart cars... those kind of look like they can be sold for around under 10k!!!
