They kind of rectified that by introducing smaller cars below the ones that balooned in size. But then your saddled with the slowest, most cheaply made tin can.
And then they stopped selling them in North America because everything NEEDS TO BE BIGGER!!!!
You can go smaller with kei cars like in Japan but they will not work here because of safety (they have pretty thin sheet metal build) and they'd be pretty slow in the North American roadway network. They work in Japan because of the density (roads are quite skinny in comparison to NA), the speed limit is lower and theres far less douchey drivers.
If they made a Honda Fit Type R that would probably solve all your issues with current cars. I can easily say the Honda Fit was probably the best subcompact car (Vs the Yaris, Mazda2, Versa, etc)
Or if they released the Honda e here, and gave it more power and range.....
