If the market opens up for these small cars, the Big3 domestics are as dead as dinosaurs. The rest of the world has 60+ years of experience - that's a big head start. The Big 3 still haven't figured out how to package sub-compacts after 30+ years of trying - they're way out of their league in micro cars.

Bottom line - we need city cars out of respect for the environment but if the market opens up and they're not build in US/Canada, our auto industry will be in big trouble.
