My view on: small and compact cars

In the Bob Barker era, I've heard of a few small cars in the past like the Geo/Chevrolet Metro (A Japanese-engineered, Canadian-built subcompact), the Ford Festiva (a Mazda-engineered, Kia-built minicar) and the Chevrolet Prizm (a Toyota Corolla in Chevrolet clothing, built in Fremont, California).

Now, I've seen a number of compact cars like Hyundai's Accent, Chevrolet Aveo5, Kia Rio, Kia Soul, Hyundai Elantra, Ford Focus, Ford Fiesta, Nissan Versa, Nissan Cube, Honda Fit, Honda Civic, Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Spark, Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Scion xA and xB, Mazda3, Mazda2, Smart fortwo, and the Toyota Yaris.

Yes, I know they're great cars and they're reliable, too. But, I know a few cars that are a lot smaller than any of those machines. The smallest car I saw was equipped with a 660cc engine, two seats, two doors, rear-wheel drive, a top speed of 140 km/h, and it looked like a Mazda MX-5 Miata that was left in the dryer too long. Care to take a guess, anyone?
