We all knew that it was only a matter of time before we were dethroned as King of the Road. 'Tis a sad day indeed. :(

I want to see, in slow motion, a head-on collision between the beast and this fuel efficient fairy.

Yeah, I was kind of thinking an excursion and the little mini would have a good battle! :eek:

I think it's great that they are coming to the US. They are certainly cool cars and an ingenius method of design and manufacturing.

However, I would not want to be in one during a side impact collision or even a head on collision....heck I wouldn't want to be in one during ANY kind of accident. *cringe*

i'd feel safer in a go-kart

Fast does not equal beautiful. ;)

An SRT version would be kool, maybe 145hp!!! :)

WOW those videos are cool!! I can appreciate that. I wonder what type of engine they used exactly. Someone in the comments said a Hyabusa engine, but I want to know exactly what they used.

/wheels start turning for a new project car...

I think I ran over one of those today. Turned my head for a second, and heard a tiny little sound like a small rock on the windshield. Freaked me out until I looked in the rearview and saw Mario all squished down just like in the video game. Luckily his kid was in a car seat and looked alright...can't say the same for Ms. Peach. These will go over big in Cali, and of course the state will sue the Big 3 for manufacturing dangerous vehicles after a few get ran over by SUVs.

It's amazing how well these small cars do in a crash...

Ugghhh, that gives new meaning to "That Smarts"

Whoever would be in either one of those cars would have more than likely been ejected through the cars sunroof or cut in half by the seat belt.

I do not see myself in any vehicle that small any time soon...freaky stuff!
