Nah dude, I'm seeing the same shit here in EU. they are not selling the small cars, like you cannot buy stuff that is supposedly on the catalogue. But you can finance this 3ton monstrosity that costs double of what you're looking for easy peasy.

Even the fucking Yaris now is a SUV

Somebody has one of those near me, its not actually that big, plus not all Yaris come as the crossover, at least in the UK. The crossover is 4.1m long and about 1.7m wide, its only 15cm longer and about 10cm wider than the standard Yaris, and again, optional.

If you want properly small then get a Citroen Ami. Otherwise the Fiat 500e is about 3.5m long and 1.5m wide, this is the same as its always been, this is still noticeably smaller than a Golf mark 1 from the 70s.
