What is with American companies and introducing tiny cars that almost nobody will buy? There was the Ford Festiva (Kia Pride), the Ford Aspire (Kia Avella), and now the Chevrolet Aveo (Daewoo Lanos).

These are all Korean cars and so are made for skinny short people, no matter that the latest Aveo commercial shows basketball players getting into one. I’ve ridden in a Daewoo Tico, the Lanos’s predecessor, when I was in Korea. It is most assuredly a lot tinier than you think it is. Think roller skate.
