Cool! 70 mpg? Those are out of production too, but if I am ever in the position to look for a car I will see if I can find a used one (brand new cars depreciate the second you drive them off the lot anyway.)
I googled that and read that they went out of production because so many are not interested in the two-door/2 seater, which makes sense, and more people were going for a prius or a honda civic hybrid.
With no kids I don't even need two seats.
