Compact premium cars are an odd idea. I can kinda see the point of them in Europe,where almost all the roads are narrow,fuel taxation is high and parking spot is a much-coveted luxury,but why are carmakers so convinced Americans want them? Gas is still cheap (relative to Europe),the roads are broader than Luxembourg,parking spaces are plentiful,and I doubt these overpowered compacts will save us from global warming any time soon. I suppose some people are simply slaves to have the right label,and it gives badge-conscious wannabes a more affordable slice of the premium pie.
