In Europe it costs about the same as an MX-5 or a GT86/BRZ.

It is far more affordable than 55-60k which where Caymans, A110s and Supras start.
It is one of the cheapest rear wheel drive sporty cars together with the MX-5 and GT86/BRZ.
The E92 wasn’t that bad was it?
Not only that, it is an affordable rear wheel drive sports coupé.
The diesel will easily do more than 30mpg.
It is a small, affordable, rear wheel drive coupé. Ok it doesn’t seem to look particularly good but I will repeat it is a small, affordable, rear wheel drive coupé.
Especially on a Challenger which is like a fast brick.
There are talks that they will do it... in Europe.
They do, it’s the Puma but the US wouldn’t buy it because expensive small cars are not understood.
I had to look it up but, apparently, while they share the powertrain, they are not the exact same car.
The Fiat 1400 (A version actually) was also the fist car assembled by the Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo in the La Zona Franca factory.
About 3 years ago I was in Rome with a work colleague (which also happens to be my best friend) and for complicated reasons we ended up staying for several days including a weekend.
In Barcelona the local police uses both Prius and Prius+ patrol cars. They were also ubiquitous as taxis.
Since you mention the C-HR.
Spain. From Yaris to Camry everything is hybrid, with no petrol or diesel engines available. I think that other European markets have petrol engines available in some models but not here.
Although Toyota is a relatively minor player here all of their lineup (except for sportscars, sporty versions, the Land Cruiser and entry level cars) is hybrid so I guess that adds up.
Many project which haven’t been launched will suffer a similar fate, probably.
That Chevrolet on the picture at the top or the article, does anyone how high of the ground is the bonnet lid?
On the styling front I can agree, but mechanically and conceptually they all(?) followed the same recipe: FR with live axle, push rod engines, 2/4 door sedans, etc.
