Mercedes-Benz W201, 1982. Bruno Sacco, whose death was announced in the past week, became head of the Daimler-Benz styling centre at Sindelfingen in 1975 and was immediately responsible for one of the most important projects in the modern history of Mercedes. The expansion of their model range downward into the compact market was considered by Sacco to be the most important work he did for the company. The W201 (190), with its crisp aerodynamic lines and perfect proportions was hugely successful with over 1.9 million produced in an 11-year model life that paved the way for successive generations of C-class compact models, the early iterations of which were also designed under Sacco.

Fiat Topolino Dolcevita !
Measuring just 2.53 meters the all-electric city EV has a 7.2-meter turning radius for shimming around tight spaces where standard vehicles get stuck.
Topolino gets the 6kW electric motor which should be ample for slow city riding. Given the small size, there’s a 5.5kWh battery which only churns out a promised range of 47 miles and a top speed of 28mph.

State of the industry? Early 60s compact cars just a mite above novel and in the 1970s economic and oil crunches have it a prudent purchase.

Honda CR-X Hatchback Coupe Concept
What if... Honda brought back this fun compact hatchback coupe to their line up. In this scenario, it would be equipped with a 1.4L turbo inline 4 cylinder motor with an ample amount of play power. It would also keep it's front wheel drive plateform as in previous iterations of this style of coupe. And as an added bonus, an optional manual transmission that would be offered along side a CVT transmission option.

I decided to make this drawing of classic Volkswagen Type 1 or Beetle; This Little Car is known and beloved both far and wide for it's versatility preforming roles from a race car to a taxi. These Bugs can be found all over the world in almost every country, one maybe even in your own neck of the woods if you were to look.

AMC Concept 1, 1977. One of AMC’s Concept 80 show cars. From the press release: "The theme of Concept I blends styling and function in an attractive smaller, energy-saving car. Its wedge design embodies a spacious interior for three-across front and rear seating; slim pillars; all-around visibility; thin, yet solid doors, and reduced overhang."

I get the sense that the Chevy Vega is kind of forgotten by pop culture. It's not quirky-yet-mediocre like the AMC Gremlin, nor was it infamous for spontaneous combustion like the Ford Pinto. It just turned to rust and fell apart if you drove it on a salted road.

Pontiac G5 Small Sedan Concept
What if... Pontiac returned to the market and introduce this small sedan to the market, later to have a coupe variant of course, this would be direct competition to the Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3. In this scenario, the G5 would still offer a 6 speed manual transmission as an option along with 4 cylinder motors that range from standard, hybrid, turbo, and for the GXP model a twin turbo 4 cylinder motor.
