Chevy Spark discontinued. Mirage last subcompact standing?

[Mark]

I'm not up on all cars, so the Yaris and Mazda 2 are also gone? How about the Fit, though Hondas have grown like crazy the last few years.

Can't speak for Canada, but the Honda Fit is no longer being sold new in the States. 2020 is the last model year for the Honda Fit here.

I'm sad to see any vehicle that offers a manual transmission option disappear.

As am I. Is the Rio or Accent considered a subcompact?

Hold up. Is the colon massager an option on the Mirage? I'm asking for a friend....

Nah, you gotta be in the $60,000+ segment for that feature.

Or eat a massive amount of Tim Horton's and pinch off a giant deuce.

Some quick googling didn't seem to confirm this information. GM authority has no info on it at all. Seems strange. They do have info on the 2022 spark starting production though.

I want to spend as little as possible to commute! I don't need anything complicated. Dear car companies: stop robbing people with expensive cars, build something for the masses

I am of the same mindset as you, and many of us on here. Unfortunately, the mindset which represents the biggest portion under the tallest part of the bell-shaped curve, wants to impress their neighbors and piers. With that in mind, they are doing just as you suggest. They are building cars the masses demand. Unfortunately, we and those like us on here are NOT the masses.

In my experience with Toyota, they are great car engineers. But they are even smarter business men. They knock themselves out to try to NOT build anything the buying public does not want. They are diehard capitalists whether they consider themselves to be such or not. Watch their trends, they are building what is in demand.

However small cars simply don't sell in North America. Everyone wants luxurious interiors, built in colon massagers, and an AC unit for each testicle. Add to that, domestic manufacturers can't seem to make a reliable car to save their own lives, so the general public opinion of these cars seems pretty poor to begin with.

I find this statement extremely accurate. And wanted to add that because the big 3 have mostly just made a mess out of small cars, that has likely highly influenced the buying public's opinion.

As for machismo and tough idiots, there is plenty of fragile masculinity out there. Being over 6 feet tall, 290lbs, and a bearded skinhead, I've never had the need for a big and tough vehicle to enhance my masculinity.

I'm of a similar build except the head part. Hair on the head, none on the face. Have to be all "corporate" looking. The corporation doesn't know it, but I'm NOT all corporate thinking. "Better safe than corporate," I always say.

Hey Dirk. You're in Atlanta. You're not supposed to know about Tim Horton's. The only reason I'm following what it is, is I lived in Michigan for a while and as I remember there was a few Tim Horton's spilled over into Michigan. I did go into that foreign country up there quite a few times and they were everywhere.

Besides Poutine and John Candy, Tim Horton's is the only real Canadian thing I know of. So I'm trying to learn as much as I can about our friends in the great white north.

I'm trying to figure out whether it's just discontinued for the Korean market or the entire world market ...
