Its funny to see how you guys look at compact cars

Here in the netherlands we think the Smart car and the toyota aygo are compact cars

Thats cause for us these are compact cars. But like the Smart car and other thing you posted, they would be considered a subcompact.

Well, I am gonna have to redo this car as it's not aged well. Had to dig it up when I saw this thread.

1989 Chevy Beretta

It was built as a replica (not exact copy due to the rims available) of my car I drove in High School. Not bad. Has a li'l 2.8L V6 and Automatic Trans. Grill is that of a Corsica LTZ/Beretta Z/26. Color is GM Habana Blue.

Compact cars are just not that popular where I live. They dont offer the ride, comfort and space a full grown SUV or Pickup Truck can. Im not trying to hurt anyone's feelings but mostly High School kids drive compacts arround here until they can afford to get something else. I always thought it was odd that there are not many pickups in Europe. I noticed that they use a lot of van's for work vehicles instead. I would think that a pickup would be popular worldwide.

That little Pinto is cool Kevin! I have a '77 in the stash along with a few other compact kits and projects. This is my '77 Chevette project. It's a promo.

My dad had a real 77 Chevette. It was red outside and I think gray and black inside IIRC. I thought that thing was so cool when I was a kid.

Original 1971 Duster kit. I had one of these when I was a kid. In 1970 Dusters were selling so well that my uncle waited near 6 months for his.
