I'd love to see some A-segment cars here. Smart Fortwo is all we've got in that class.

EDIT: Interestingly, if you look at sales figures, the Micra is unquestionably stealing sales from its bigger brother, the (more expensive & profitable) Versa Note. Combined sales of both are up, but only Nissan knows whether their overall profit is up. Since the Micra came out, Nissan now dominates the small car segment here. Which I suppose is fine from a business angle if those customers eventually come back for bigger, more expensive cars.
