"anyone with the slightest bit of self respect and dignity wouldnt drive a car they could park in their old mini van" Personally, I think people that can't drive a small car or a large car because it impacts their dignity have a problem with insecurity. There's nothing wrong with driving a small car if the person wants to, and there's nothing wrong with driving a huge car if the person wants to. If someone has to poke fun or attack someone just because their car is too small or too big, then that person has an inferiority complex. No one should be embarrassed because they drive or like a certain car. I'm not. “You fat-ass american’s need ever growing cars to fit your ever growing proportions.”

Personally, I think people that can’t drive a small car or a large car because it impacts their dignity have a problem with insecurity. There’s nothing wrong with driving a small car if the person wants to, and there’s nothing wrong with driving a huge car if the person wants to. If someone has to poke fun or attack someone just because their car is too small or too big, then that person has an inferiority complex. No one should be embarrassed because they drive or like a certain car. I’m not.

Even the Fit is bigger then the first, second, and third gen Civic's. You fat-ass american's need ever growing cars to fit your ever growing proportions.

You fat-ass american’s need ever growing cars to fit your ever growing proportions.

I am one for smaller car, but the Focus / Civic / Corolla / Mazda3 / Jetta / Cobalt / Caliber / Elantra class is plenty small enough. In terms of the U.S., anything smaller won't make sense for much of the country going 65-75 mph. Sure, use it in NYC and other big cities, but their public transportation is good enough and the parking cost is crazy enough to justify ditching the car altogether. They don't give discount for parking a Yaris vs. an Avalon. Are we overdoing the small car segment or what?

Last thing I remember was waking up in an alley smelling like Zima. I tried once to underpin 3 new models. Last thing I remember was waking up in an alley smelling like Zima.
