In Italy we saw some SmartCars parked facing the curb in parallel parking situations--yup, thery're about as long as other cars are wide! We also noticed very, very few American-made vehicles--and they were mostly Ford Focus wagons. Lots of Fiats of course, and a surprising number of Korean cars. Luxury cars were always German--didn't see a single Acura, Infiniti, or Lexus. There were Hondas and Toyotas though, including some models we don;t have in the US.
My mother still doesn't believe me when I tell her that my 4Runner SUV fits into a shorter parking space than her Acura TL. But my car is actually about a foot shorter in length and a few inches narrower in width. All she sees is the height!
