Honey, I Shrunk the Kia

Where's the Corvair? If there were not Corvair, Al Gore would have been elected President in 2000. I'd say that makes it a significant small car.

In Southern California where the population is spread essentially in a huge grid, any new mass transit solution seems doomed. My ametuer picture as a planner looking at the data, the population density is far to low to solve problems for most commuters with mass transit. there are just not enough people that want to go from the same point a to point b.
So that leaves us with indivual transportation of essentially one body at a time. Hummer H2 6600lbs, mimi cooper 2600, motorcycle 500 lbs.
looking at the cost dimension: small scooters $1000, interstate scooters $6000, motorcycles for the interstate, $6000 to
$30,000, so around $10,000 a commuter could buy an auto instead of a bike. Nano changes this entirely. Now at somewhere between $2,500 and probably $4000, the cummuter has an enclosed auto choice.
the solutions are obvious, the politics will be the problem.

What? No electric cars? You are remiss! Visit http://EVtransPortal.com to see what I mean.
