    All the best compacts are made for the Japanese and the European markets. We here in the US are targeted with the larger, more gas-guzzling vehicles, and almost every car maker has an 'exclusive' US-market vehicle, which is almost always an SUV.

    That reminds me of the Ford XR8 we have here in Australia:

    I still don't understand the novelty behind putting a rear spoiler on an econobox like the Civic.....it's like putting spinners on a Winnebego...

    Better than puting one on a 4 door sedan. I used to like the looks of them on performance cars but when they started turning up on everything in the late 90's I started to sour on the look.

    I dont understand it. The american dealers know that the Japanese markets have the small car segment locked. But if they were able to port these types of cars from oversees they sure would have a chance. That doesnt even look like anything we have here. I guess thats why the Neon is now gone :(. I mean are small care segment is purely ugly. Thats the main reason why they dont have any sales, then comes reliabilty a close 2nd.
