I think Kei cars are too small for the U.S as most importantly too inhumane for a developed and strong country such as the U.S.; Mexico or Central America, or even China it makes sense but not here. I would like to see the Beat and Trax make it here, that is about as small as I'd like to see. What I don't want to see is Accords and such becoming the size of a LeSabre and getting the same mileage as the LeSabre. The Japanese may make Kei cars, but they, just keep making their vehicles bigger and bigger and less efficient and that kind of stuff needs to stop.
