And if not having 4+ passenger capability means better mpg, acceleration, handling &c... then you might actually get me to buy one :-)

So if Ford, for instance, were to build such a car AND spend some money actually SELLING the "small, sporty, fun" qualities in the same way that they pushed the "let's tear up some scenery with our SUV" market, then they'd A) increase their fleet mpg considerably; and B) make money. I really can't see how Ford stockholders could object to either :-)
