That's an extinct breed around here! The only ones of that generation that I've seen in the past few years have been convertibles (usually not winter driven, so not rotted out).
The ForkenSwift was the last non-vert of that generation still on the road in my area. And my Metro/Fireflies are the last of the last generation still running around here.

I've got a sighting: saw my first ever Hyundai Ioniq EV or PHEV (not sure) in the wild last week. One of these:

Looks neat.
They should have mentioned that they were inspired by isetta. And named it “i7a” which is pronounced “ iseta” if you read it in french.

There is an early Smart Fortwo roaming around my neighborhood recently. Not so many of those in Brazil, even though the 2nd generation became somewhat successful in some big cities.

Not so many nowadays, but I still see a Peugeot 106 once in a while.

My condolences!
Coincidentally, I saw one in small town Ontario this week as well! I've seen at least 5 so far (the other 4 in & around Ottawa).
Unrelated: I wonder if it's possible to suffer brain injury just by looking at something. |

One of these was parked on the street a couple blocks away two days ago, in white.
And last Saturday, I saw my fifth(!) Model 3 running around this little college town. White with the gray aero wheel covers. Not this car, but identical:
There's a matte black with aero wheels that lives down the street; I keep hoping I'll run into the owner sometime. And, my younger brother placed his order for a silver 3 with aero wheels three weeks ago, so in a few months I might get to drive one.

I am aware of some Teslas in Brazil but have never seen any on the wild.
