| Fiat 500 |
Driving around recently I have seen new small cars (new to the US at least) on the road and get such a kick out of it. The Fiat 500 is so cute and it stands out on our roads as it is relatively small compared to most other vehicles. I have even seen a Fiat dealership down the road from where I live and it just makes me smile. I am a big fan of small. As well, I am a big fan of offering options and choice even for small cars as not everyone who wants to drive a small car is a young person on a budget. I think more and more consumers will be asking for near-luxury content in smaller packages. In addition to the Fiat 500 here are some other cars that to me are small, new and notable.

| Fiat 500 has so many colors and combos, such a breathe of fresh air from standard silver paint and beige interiors from most manufacturers of small cars offered in North America |

| One of Fiat 500 interiors, something an most automakers would never offer because the white color steering wheel could get dirty! OMG! I guess no one ever washes cars.... |

| Scion IQ (which is sold in Europe as the Toyota IQ) I guess Americans would not buy a Toyota this small? Silly. |

| Scion IQ interior, I like the seat cloth....fun |

| The new Kia Rio 5 door (the 3 door is better looking but North America will not be able to buy the 3 door...why I don't know. I guess again manufacturers assume Americans don't want choice. I am very partial to this car as it is one of my husbands' designs. Nonetheless it is a great design regardless of who designed it. (But I have to say it is a little devil...just like him.) |
