i haven't seen this car since i was in england almost two years ago.

while at the "Mickey & Friends" car park at Disneyland, me and my friend began noticing heaps of cars from "across the border."

we've spotted so many different cars... alot of Volkswagen Derbys.

but this car took me back to europe. i love the Ford Ka.

I had an urge to try to pick it up and move it. I think this is the 2 seater.

I haven't ever seen one in these parts.

Have you seen any of the commercials for the "Ka's Evil Twin?"

Email me and I'll send a couple.

If by "small" you mean cheap and crappy I'd agree with you

That "SMART" car is pretty sweet. I saw a bunch of those in Rome and had an opportunity to sit in one. It's roomier than it looks but it isn't for the 6'0 and above. I'd like to see more of those here in the states but I couldn't see it sharing the road with an H2 or Expedition.

No, I mean smart and not crappy. If that is not cheap, then, I don't know what to offer.

I had to be careful not to cream two smart cars on time while I was driving a Suburban. They were in my blind spot and I couldn't even see them by looking out the side windows. If I hadn't seen them before they got next to me they would have been smushed.

I've never been a fan of the smart cars and I'm not alone as they losing Daimler Chysler a bunch of money and I'd be surprised if they'll be around much longer.

Their new Jeep rip off is especially repulsive.

In Europe it's not really a popular car. Maybe in the larger French and Italian cities?

The Audi which is mentioned (uuugly) is seen as a midsize car over here. Quite expensive as well..

I've read here that some people would like small cars. Can you imagine if you see a Fiat Cinquecento next to a Ford truck?

Yet you do. At great length.

I wanna see some VWs though.

Amanda, you can't honestly say those cars look good, can you? They are downright hideous.

The Ka's stance reminds me of the Citroen 2CV...
