Need? America doesn't want small cars. The only way to get Americans to buy them would be to force them down their throat. Americas are also, in general, larger than most Asians. Many of us wouldn't fit into such a car.

dude, take a second look at what you typed. need and want are two different things.

as for what they are, that is called a mazda az 1 if im not mistaken. it is a mid engine RWD kei car. the engine is actually a suzuki 3 cylinder twin cam turbo unit i beleive. in fact i think the car is entirely made by suzuki. still a very cool car.

Panspeed sells rear flares and wider front fenders. The rear flares probably were not out yet when the picture the first picture was taken.
