A look at the best-selling car in America
Posted on July 7th, 2009 – 7:51 AMBy Roadguy
The weekend before last, Roadguy drove across Wisconsin to hang out with his 2-year-old niece (as well as various less-interesting adults). The visit included a ride on the rail transportation at the Milwaukee zoo:
(It’s an incredibly tiny train, both in terms of height and width. There’d be plenty of leftover room and minimal vibrations on University Avenue if the Central Corridor used equipment like this.)
I also learned from her grandparents that my niece drives the best-selling car in the United States:
It’s true — it even outsold the Camry last year. (Fox News story here, post on Autoblog here.) Perhaps America’s youth will indeed lead the way to a low-emssions future.

NPR had a report about these a couple weeks ago too.

Do you suppose it’s a convertible?
Leg-powered cars… the fuel of the future!
Turns out that Fred Flintstone was not a prehistoric caveman; he was a genius ahead of his time. Take that Jetsons.
Hey, I was just on that Milwaukee Zoo train back in June. Yes, it is very tiny but the family of 4 managed to squeeze into one car.
And…if you buy a year pass online through Milwaukee Zoo, you can use it here at the Minnesota Zoo as well. Milwaukee sells theirs cheaper than the MN Zoo does.

I didn’t know that reciprocity between MN and WI extended to Zoo fares as well as U of M/UW resident tuition rates. Thanks for the info.
Sure, that car gets good mileage, but how does it handle?
