If it's not capable of at least 50 MPG, though, its' just not worth it (Price not considered)... there are other options that are much larger (by perception) and get the same economy figures.

The car is physically fairly small and putting four doors would make it very difficult to get in and out hence the two door decision.
They are sold here and fuel economy is very good up around the 50 US MPG range depending on the model.
It is aimed very much at the trendy latte drinking crowd and not at the serious ecomiler but getting into the US market may bring about a change of market placement.
One of the very few cars you get out of with a big smile on your face.
