night-time daihatsu love
I do like small cars. Lots of Mini Coopers here, teeny old classic kind and also the new, and these small Japanese cars.
U-Tokyo Front-Gate Smartness
Smart is a European car maker, and their 2-seater cars are very cute. If I live someplace where highway driving wasn't required, I'd get one. They are safe, but with enough speed I think they'd be little rolling bouncing balls. But at low, city speeds they should be fine. I mainly want one for parking convenience and fuel efficiency.
..Sadly, reducing the world's CO2 emissions is not on that list. Kind of pointless for developed nations to try and reduce emissions, because burning stuff is the cheapest/only viable way for undeveloped nations to stop being undeveloped. It's gonna get burned, one way or another. My reason is this: if you had to choose whether or not to use power to save a sick person, a baby or your grandma or example, even though you know that using said power will slowly put animal/plant species at risk, you're going to pick "person" every time. Anyway..
Small cars. Lots in Tokyo. Me likey.

"The automobile has not merely taken over the street, it has dissolved the living tissue of the city...Gas-filled, noisy and hazardous, our streets have become the most inhumane landscape in the world."
Fitch, James M.
I think his point is well taken. Throw in some heavy govenment funding for development, inner city housing, and a couple of million mobile people, and poof...
