The Fiat is cute....all 1.4L of it.

The Spark is interesting. It would have been more interesting 3 years ago when the Japanese manufacturers introduced their mini cars.

The nice thing about light cars is they don't need huge engines to move quickly. They also don't need huge brakes and huge wheels and tires to stop well and handle nicely. As an engine gets bigger everything on a car must get heavier to cope with the extra power. This is something American manufacturers have apparently forgotten when a Saturn Sky weighs 800lbs more than this Fiat.
