I think that the late 50's must have been the heyday of design for some of these cars because Renault and Fiat also had futuristic, beautiful offerings. Citroen made great miniature cars through to the 90's - I also have a 950cc AX10 that gets 45mpg in town and can keep up with anything on the open road. Better ride than most, too.

Did they eventually => make a 2 cyl 600? The 600 is the four-seat version of the Isetta, always with two cylinders. Isetta displacement is about 250, with one. (Incidentally, there were several versions of the Isetta design under different badges.)
