I cant for the life of me figure out why there isnt a decent but cheap fuel efficient vehicle made today. There are either efficient, or cheap, but never the 2 put together. All economy cars are looking like that's what they were: built for people who care about $$ and mpg more then mph. Why not build a sporty looking econo-box? one peopel might actually like?

I love the old mini coopers. bit better looking then the regular cooper and even if it had the same powertrain, it would look somewhat cooler.

the old turbo firefly, sprint, etc of the same line: looked infinitely better then the regular ones. I dont know if economy or the extra 20 ponies made a difference, but I think it would be a big seller with some decent rims.

the honda CRX I had kicked butt. looked waaaay better then the regular civic, yet looked the same.

lots of newer cars out there, but almost as if they make the
car just a tad cheaper thenit shouldbe, hoping people wont buy it.
