they have I think
Maybe just demos but I did see one at a dealer lot a couple months ago. Pretty cool little package. IIRC shares quite a bit of the underpinnings with the mazzda.

Has to reliably get me or Stacey to work on a daily basis. Must be large enough...
To accommodate at least one very large dog.
Cannot have stupid reliability issues or be insanely expensive to maintain or keep supplied with an endless pile of sensors and coilpacks.
Should be engaging and fun to drive, though not necessarily fast (as mentioned previously, I really enjoyed driving the Fit, though Stacey didn't think its tossability was as much fun as I did).
I'd like it to be not terribly inefficient. I can abide fuel economy averages of around 25 mpg, but lower than that gets on my nerve (our Saabaru got about 22.5 or so, 23.3 on the road, and it only drank premium... that was pretty annoying).
