Why are sporty little sub-compacts that actually look good, and that get great MPG so hard to find in the US? I know there's the Fit, Yaris and Aveo, but those things are ugly as hell. The Mazda 2 looks pretty slick, sounds like it's fun to drive (like any Mazda) and gets the kind of gas mileage in a car I want without having to pay extra for a hybrid. Why is the American auto market so freaking clueless?!
