I'm still liking the insanely small, enclosed vehicle scene... I've been looking for a mini-truckster or something locally for awhile now. Hopefully it sells for you!

The only downside to getting one of those trucks, for me anyway, is that I can get similar mileage in a larger, potentially more comfortable vehicle. If the engines used in those types of trucks were, for instance, a 3 cylinder CVCC variant, or something similar, that would be much more appealing, since one could easily see 75 MPG plus with them, and it would be hard to beat that with "normal" cars. They'd have a lot more appeal than they currently do, since highway/road space isn't really as much of an issue in the US.

Obviously, congestion occurs, but it's not like it is in "developing" countries, and areas which weren't designed for cars, like parts of Italy.
