EDIT - By this I mean a specialist like this one, so not counting MMC with the Mirage or the Geo Metro etc.
Even if they did in the short term, they would be steamrollered by the big makers joining in. Most EU leccy car specialists are struggling already and there are only a few around from the major makers. But those majors have better products, similar prices and a more extensive dealer network.

I don't look at this as an "economy car". I see it as a 4 season motorcycle and hope they sell it as such. Yes it would be crushed if you compare it to a Nissan Versa or its equal. But this can appeal to people like me or maybe even "us". I see economy in cost of ownership. I can't think of anything out there that can compete. If you go by vehicle cost insurance will be about $150 a year for full coverage insurance. Cheaper to maintain than a motorcycle. Easy to work on. I can take the dog with me. The wife gives me the evil eye when I stuff the dog in my motorcycle jacket.
