    I’m still waiting for a small city car like the Honda ‘e’ prototype.

      It wasn’t a prototype. They sold it for 4 years in Japan and Europe, but it recently got the axe.

      It’s a really dope car in person, but a lot of people avoided it because it was about $44k for a car that only got 135mi of range.

        Seriously, I’m appalled that Ford has fully stopped selling sedans and hatchback in the US for several years at this point. You can get a small crossover SUV, and the other small car they still sell is the Mustang.

        I really, really hate SUVs.

          Yeah, but at 2/3 overweight or obese by population, the average American is too fat for small hatchbacks. Enormous, child smashing pickups @ 12mpg are just A-OK tho.
