          What they're asking for works out to around $9,600. Factory claimed mileage is like 56!
          Yeah, If they started selling them here, how much higher do you think the price of diesel would go to then?

                No thanks for me too, though it reminds me more of a Saturn Astra... quarter windows too small, C-pillars too big. One of the many beauties of a Festiva is the size/proportion of the quarter windows. Lines flow nicely and there is about the same amount of sheet metal as glass in the rear instead of being waaay too biased toward the sheet metal like many of todays vehicles. Size DOES matter, and an 6" wiper blade for the rear window just ain't gonna cut it Even Ford/Mazda have moved toward this with the new Fiesta/2. But Mini did a good job with it not following the tiny window trend, as did the most beautiful round body hatch ever created, the Toyota Yaris.
                No festiva for me ATM...

                      As far as the minis, I was at the Seattle Auto Show yesterday and the minis did have crazy tiny rear windows, along with a 6 in wiper blade on it
