Haha wow, that's such an adorable car. It's unfortunate that that kind of vehicle won't ever make it to the US though.

- fshbbdssbbgdd 4y agoThe closest thing was probably the electric Smart car that Mercedes makes: https://carbuzz.com/cars/smart/fortwo-electric-drive-cabrio https://carbuzz.com/cars/smart/fortwo-electric-drive-cabrio They don’t sell them in the US anymore.
- jfim 4y agoOh wow, I didn't even know they made an electric smart, much less a convertible one. Not sure how good the EV part of that was (the article hints that it was terrible) but the form factor is really nice.
- happymellon 4y agoIs the Honda-e available over there? That's a pretty nice mini electric vehicle.
- WorldMaker 4y agoThe Honda-e is not available at all in the US. The top line excuse is that side-view cameras are still not street legal in the US (though regulators are supposed to finally reconvene on that any day now) and the car's profile can't retrofit mirrors. But the current bottom line seems a disinterest from Honda of America in any EV products right now.
- robin_reala 4y agoIt’s really not that small in real life.
- happymellon 4y agoI'm in the UK and seen them about. They aren't very large, about the size of a Fiat 500 which is considered quite a compact car. [Edit] I've just looked it up and it is considered a mid-sized super-compact. Within 1/2" of the Fiesta for the wheelbase. Its quite dinky.
- robin_reala 4y agoIts wheelbase is 8 inches longer than the Fiat 500, and it’s overall 10" longer. It’s by no means a big car, but it’s quite a bit bigger than a traditional city car.
