For a long time the larger cars dominated the streets and the automobile industry from SUVs, to the recent Hummers. Now, it seems that the small cars are gaining increasing popularity. The Mini has drawn lots of attention, but the problem has always been that it was just too small for many people’s needs. Now there is a station-wagon version of the Mini which is believed that it will do well. The Smart car is another car that is becoming popular, with the newer models as well, although there is a serious safety risk.
