Those crazy Europeans have been building small cars for a long time.

BMW Isetta (1950s)

Messerschmidt (1950s)

Peraves Ecomobiles, which are really motorcycles (Present)

So why aren’t those being sold in America?

Why are (all) the good ideas in autos/etc, all happening elsewhere?

While US automakers exist in seeming comas, building cars for 1960.

I rode in a BMW Isetta when I was a little kid in the 50’s. I still remember it. It was tan, and this crazy lady with bright red hair had it.
