Once the automobile was established as a reliable means of transportation, the challenge was to make it affordable to the majority of people. Many countries developed what became known as “people’s cars,” basic automobile transportation that ordinary working citizens could buy.

America led the way with its venerable Model T Ford, and the more Henry Ford built, ultimately over 15 million, the lower he priced them. Others were England’s Austin Seven, Germany’s Volkswagen Beetle (which actually got its name from “people’s car”) and France’s Citroen 2CV.

Italy was a great motoring nation, and Fiat, one of its oldest and most respected automobile manufacturers, was not to be left out. It is fitting, therefore, that Italy’s most famous people’s car was the Fiat “Topolino,” a.k.a Little Mouse or Mickey Mouse. It was well named because its perky headlamps perched up on the fenders could be likened to mouse ears.

Q:

Would a Latina or a White girl go out with an Asian guy who has a car like this ? Will she be too embarrassed?

I really want to know if Hispanic and Caucasian women care about what kind of car a man drive when they're dating him. I'm planning on getting this car. It's not the best vehicle in the world, but it is all I can afford. I'm just wondering if any Latin or White ladies would go out with me after they see my car.

It's not really a car. It's a very nice truck. It runs very well and won't break down on the road. I can drive very smoothly so the ride will be very comfortable for her.
This is the car version I might get it, but it's not as useful are the truck
