They figure that the new U.S. compacts-which run about 15 ft. long and start at about $1,800 list-will bite into the sales of regular U.S. cars, but are neither small enough nor economical enough to cut the sales of the fastest-selling smaller imports, which run about 10 ft. to 13 ft. and deliver in the $1,600 range.
