At todays exchange rate that is $12,700 for the base model
Dont get me wrong, in Europe, it is extremely smart, since they have very limited road space to manuever, park, etc. My wagon would almost seem giant amongst a lot of cars there.

But here in the US, in most of the suburban areas, there is not too much of a need for something that small on the outside.




As for the people riding around in their Escaldes, Excursions, Suburbans, and crap like that, ALONE, ALL THE TIME, someone please off them. There is no need for a vechile of that size, to carry around 1 person. Hell, my wagon is too big for me most of the time, and its 1/4 of the size of these things.
