If there's anything we should take from Japan, it's treating cars like second class citizens behind transit instead of the other way around. The cute tiny cars are more a side effect of that.

Our car companies are the reason we don't have mini cars. They spent a century setting up regulatory hurdles to block out competition, and they're not about to let go now that all they can make is trucks. If we allowed tiny cars in America, it would allow competition in the market. They can't have that.
