My brother said that too! But I'm a girl so "unmanly" is actually a plus. I also think the hatchback Yaris is very sexy -- so sexy I want to lick it.
I also consider the VW Bug and the Mini "cute" cars.
Saltah'na: I'll have to read through that article some time. I wouldn't rule out the Fit when considering a purchase, but it's not as cute as the Yaris (at least the exterior). Actually I rather think the design is something I'd get sick of looking at after a few years.
Anyway, I'm not in the market for a new car, but I do like to goggle at the hatchback Yaris whenever I come across one .

Well, "Blue Thunder" my old 1992 Dodge Dakota just blew the water pump. I'm getting the feeling that its time to achieve my life goal of owning a car made in the same decade I happen to be living in. Perhaps something with an I-beam bumper so I can start ramming all the Jacko's in Kelifonya that insist on making that left turn in front of me even though their light has been red for a good 10 seconds.

Lol, that was exactly my thought when I bought my new bike, to get something from this decade. I mean, there's nothing wrong with owning a 26 year old motorcycle. It's just nearly impossible to find parts for it anymore. Unless I travel 200+ Km to the nearest motorcycle salvage company. And even then there's no guarantee they'll have what I need, or what condition it's in.
I say go for it and find a new car, even though they're mighty pricey, the sacrifice will still be worth it to have a reliable and fun automobile. And think about getting the top of the line model of whatever car you choose. Not only will it have better resale value when you decide to sell it, but if you're going to spend a bucketload of cash, then you might as well have something that's more enjoyable than the bare-bones model.
