No one wants a car with less than 200 HP. With the exception of the Turbo Metros, most all the 1.0L have 55hp or less. It's all about how many bells and whistles can be packed in to a car (rear seat DVD/climate control, GPS, Onstar, heated/6-way leather seats, blah blah blah). The Metro is a simple and affordable commuter car. Who wants that? You can't really stick 24" wheels and spinners on a Metro (the image will haunt me in my nightmares for the rest of my life!). The Metros will lose, the BAVs (Bad A$$ Vehicle) will win. Minimal profit to be had building a Metro, big $$$$ profit building a BAV. In the end it's all about making money for the Big 3 or 4, AND the oil companies.
IMHO
99metro 3/5
For the record, MY metro has both driver's and passenger air bags.
