Little Blue Car
When we were back home I had often noticed the lack of compact cars on the road. Gradually, beginning in the late 1990’s, compact cars and sedans started being replaced by mini-vans, first, and then SUV’s. When we were on our road trip, just before we left, we drove our little Toyota Corolla and we were one of the few cars of that size on the road.
That is another difference I have noticed since coming here. Sure, the SUV and mini-van craze has started, but it hasn’t swept the nation as it did in America. Sure, you see some of them on the road, but compact and sub-compact cars still rule the road. And then there are some cars that are pushing the limit, in the direction of small, like the little blue car in the picture above. And, for some reason, that just makes me smile.
