​   With the ever increasing demand for small cars, it was no wonder that there would be an increase in demand for pocket rockets.  Since the release of “The Fast and the Furious”, there has been an ever increasing demand for pint-sized pocket rockets, from the factory.  

​     With an ever growing demand for small cars, and the ever growing prices of gas, its not odd that the luxury marks would get on the small car band wagon.  Although all three contenders within this segment have been around for some time, all three are new in terms to their respective marketplaces.  It is the fist time anyone has seen a mini BMW in North America since the 2002 model of the 70’s.  

   ​Although the days of the wagon may seem to be over, there still seems to be some demand for them.  As for a hatch, the market is still on an upward trend.  Wagons and Hatch’s have always been a favourite for tuners looking for some extra room, or the couple, just starting to have a family.  Although the contenders in this segment may not be the biggest piece of the market, they still have their followers.  

​     With ever increasing gas prices and higher demand for more fuel-efficient cars, it’s no wonder that the small car segments would be growing.  This year the demand for small fuel-efficient cars has reached a point where demand is greater than supply.  

      Sub-Compacts today are very different from those tiny cars of the past.  Today the sub-compact segment has become one of the biggest and most important to any auto company.  If you don’t have a good enough sub-compact, then you don’t have any base for future consumers.  

    ​Micro Cars are a segment of the industry, which has just begun to show its true presence in the world.  It has been around for a long time, it has just never been big news, or has had many volume cars within it.  ​In a world of ever growing gas prices and no real sign in sight about a replacement fuel for gasoline, Micro Cars have been seen as the next big thing for major cities. ​​
