I like this item from the specs:

Seating Capacity: 4 ( foldable people preferred on the rear places)

Some people fold better than others.

On that note, and in reply to "A Honda Civic for the age of global warming"... I don't believe that 2-seaters will catch on in the US anytime soon, even if gas prices doubled or tripled.

For now efforts to improve mileage of existing formats are probably the most realistic change we can hope for. It will take a lot more pain to get Americans into tiny 2-seaters.

Oh Wideblack, you're so pessimistic!

Since most Americans drive alone, a 2-seater is just fine, one seat for each ass cheek

LMAO!! (Now I can get a tiny car...too bad they are made for short people.)

Do not count out tiny cars out-of-hand. Try each one. Tiny cars are being made in Europe where, due to better nutrition over the last 30-40 years, people tend to be bigger than people in the US (not wider, taller).

I know of a few rather large people (remember I am an American, when I say this) who are very happy in a Prius. The VW Golfs also work well for large people, a fellow I think of privately as "man mountain" zips around happily in his.

If the car is meant to be sold in the European market, give it a try before you give up on it. The only area where you'll run into problems is something made for the Asian market only, because while their heights have been increasing probably the fastest, most of the people are still pretty darned short.

Most Americans NEED one seat for each ass cheek.

That made me laugh out loud... However it is sad to see when I go near walmart.

Huge fat rings around one's middle keep one from folding well.

maybe it would be more efficient if they just layed down and rolled down the road.
