Yeah, but they have to put those small engines into something nice. The Mini is a niche car, but a nice niche car. It has style and that's many folks still want in a small car. If GM had the Beat, Groove, etc. they'd have something cool to put it in.

The real question is not that GM is standing by but what were they doing the past 2+ years instead of building a small car that was a world car -- in other words, saleable in every nation on earth?
