The misunderstanding of the world on Free Republic is boundless.

The cars depicted are for the masses in megacities, those with populations greater than 10 million. The people there need cheap cars to navigate the busy and crowded city streets. The megacities customers may very well buy them by the hundreds of thousands because they exactly fit their needs.

The world population is moving to the mega cities where poor people are becoming middle class people who need transport, cheap transport. There is no need for concern with garage height and gull wing doors when there is no garage. there is congestion that makes opening a door in traffic a problem.

The designers no doubt developed a feature rich car for the specific intended use having nothing to do with our concepts of need

Oh yes........ denigrate diesel at your peril. Diesel rules the future
