Wayne - All roads in the USA are designed around american cars (i,e no turning circle) parking in the USA has never been a problem. A country that does not even have roundabounds (too hard to navigate - need to turn the wheel) does not need a car that is designed to park face on to the curb in the same cubic area as a car parked normally (i.e. 90 degrees to this). This is just another SMART car - very popular in places like Italy where they have very narrow streets and very little parking and where two passengers is OK (too windy on a scooter).

Why would you want one of these - you live in a country that has been planned around a big automobile.

Sorry to be negative but I have seen some of these... and I just don't get it...
