These days, more people want small cars or “mini” cars because gas is costing them so much money these days. Clark has a Scion XB that gets great fuel mileage and has tremendous room on the inside. He admits the car is very ugly, but he spends the majority of his time inside and does not really care about the outside appearance. You are going to see a lot uglier, mini cars in the next 18 months. Car companies believe there will be a lasting market of people looking for fuel efficient vehicles, meaning the car gets over 30 miles a gallon.
