The luggage for our recent trip (me, wife, and son) barely fit in the trunk of my old Toyota Echo. This typical Roman street view (from the window of our group coach) makes minimizing look less like an option an more like an eventual necessity. These microcars wouldn’t begin to hold the luggage of a typical American couple, let alone family. In fact, you could probably put a pull handle on an old Fiat 500 - still seen in abundance - and check the darn thing. The alternative in cities like this would be an expensive cab ride or the subway. Taking less looks better all the time.

CHECK ME!
The tiny 500’s “child” may be headed to US markets in 2010 thanks to the shotgun marriage of Chrylser and Fiat. More buzz from the NYT.
