Seriously. You don't see Honda Car or Toyota Car on the list, so why is it so difficult for for people to learn "Fortwo"?

MINI only offers the Cooper (in various configurations), but no one calls it a MINI Car.

Perhaps they think of it as the model and not the make?

If gas prices does go up to $5 per gallon, I think the Fortwo will not be the only one on the road. I think there will be other similar size vehicles; ie, VW Chico, Toyota iQ, Fiat 500, etc. The road will be safer with the or for the little cars since they are the only ones on it (won't have to worry about suvs).

Tell people over and over and over again. Gas is going to rise over $3 before the end of the year. Then it may decline and go up again. Eventuly when more gas efficient cars and hybrids hit the road I believe gas companies then will offset their prices to be like $4 or $5 so they can still make about the same as what they can make now since majority of more people will refuel less.
