TTAC readers know that this site has an unhealthy fascination with low-cost cars. It’s not entirely unjustified, what with the segment booming in recession-plagued Europe and the fact that low-cost vehicles are cannibalizing the sales of larger, more conventional vehicles.
To help you seperate your Citigos from your Sanderos, the Handlesblatt (Germany’s version of the Wall Street Journal) has published a handy guide of all cars selling for under 10,000 euro. There’s a delightful mixture of old former-Warsaw Pact crap and very modern automobiles from the EU and Korean. Not to mention a couple Japanese entries. Personally, I’m partial to the Seat Mii and find that Kia Picanto to be offensively ugly.
Seems most of the best innovation happens at the low and high extremes, so your fascination is only natural.
Shouldn’t that be the Seat Mii! like its VW cousin, the Up!?
I am totally down with the small car revolution. Been a believer ever since I rented a Panda in Tuscany/Maranello. Give me one of those with a 120-130HP turbodiesel and some decent suspenders/shoes, I’m good. There’s nothing like a <2200lb car.
If we could only get the Aygo down here. That’s a cool little car.
