Why are they making compact cars even smaller?

Renato Abatiell: Sorry 2007 sentra is bigger I sat in one I made ready last Friday. Saw the car at Detroit Car show last February. Almost as big as a 2001 altima inside and more rear seat room. Feature packed and shocking price tag! $20,000 but the Versa $12,999 to $18,000 drops into the space where last sentra was. It looks narrower because it is slightly taller the new 2.0 liter engine and CVT transmission are neat too. Go drive one.

Colby Millberg: Better gas millage.

Talisha Digrande: You're probably too young to remember the 'real' compacts ! The first Honda 800 car could fit in the trunk of a Buick !

Davida Gisriel: gas

Indira Wassell: idk man...when the civic first came out it was pretty small, now it's the size an accord was back then...and now an accord is the size of normal american cars. i think they're getting bigger.

Kris Bozelle: honda not stupid they're making there cars bigger. the civic is big but the 2007 elantra the 2007 s! entra and some more cars that i can't think of right now... are getting smaller.

Joel Feagler: the interior room is the same,they build more compact engines, and reduce the length of the car so its lightweight,saving on fuel consumption and helping the smaller engines give you an acceptable performance.

Adan Stribble: Upgrading an older, large vehicle to apply a smaller gas engines or replace the old one with an electric powered motor does no longer paintings properly. Smaller gas engines might want to ought to paintings very demanding to flow that significant vehicle, and may want to apply very nearly as a lot gas, and the improve might want to be so severe priced that no one might want to do it any way. an electric powered motor that would want to flow the large vehicles might want to need huge batteries - a lot that the vehicle might want to weigh even more advantageous than it does now, and may want to lose some passenger areas. old vehicles that get traded ! in and resold ARE being recycled, notwithstanding. If a vehicl! e remains functional, someone will purchase it andchronic it. they are no longer using something made from latest resources, they are taking an present merchandise and using it extra. it is an identical as taking a tumbler bottle, cleansing it, and refilling it. vehicles that now no longer might want to be pushed are nevertheless recycled. Usable elements might want to be bumped off, rebuilt, and resold to shop different vehicles on the line. at the same time as they could be able to't be re-used, the finished vehicle might want to be melted down and the metallic recycled into new vehicles, motorcycles, lampposts, surgical equipment, sewer pipes, eye glasses, or something else produced from metallic....Show more

Renita Sefton: to make the cars smaller so it is harder to burn as much gas from the work of the engine. so it burns less gas than other cars.

Augustus Sarria: ??????????????????

Mitchell Pickens: Probably fuel efficiency
