Forbes has named ten the best city cars.

Lasting many hours road jams for a long time have turned to an inseparablecomponent of any megacity, and concept "the city car" was densely fixed inuse. In the Texas transport institute, for example, have counted up, thatAmericans annually stand in jams around 4.2 million hours, leaving on roadalmost 11 million liters of fuel.At drawing up of their rating journalists send away from the standardscheme which divides cars only by their size.Five nominations, named by magazine, are five different approaches to thecar's choice.Criteria for nominations were the following: the price ("most accessible"),design ("cheerful, but prudent"), the charge of fuel ("the economy itself"),imposing appearance ("a magnificent cruiser") and universality ("for alloccasions"). Each nomination had two winners.
Among winners of the American list - it is already traditional - half ofJapanese. Small Honda Fit (Jazz in Europe) has won a nomination "mostaccessible". Nissan has won Altima Among "cheerful, but prudent" forsuccessful combination of practicality and the powerful motor. Amongmiddle-sized cars the title "economy itself" has been won by two hybrids:Toyota Prius and Honda Civic. It was pleasant to journalists, that both carshave received the highest marks on crash-tests. As city luxury has actedLexus 460L. Americans were subdued with its good road performance and highnoise isolation.

Yesterday I was watching a programme about skyscarpers building in Dubai andJapan. I was amazed by that fact that there are people who will live in thisbuildings. What about offices, there is no choice, but how to live in thisbuldings?Especially it is inexplicable how the japanese people look at this. Theytend to be closer to the nature.Not long ago I have spent few days in a small village and I was fascinatedby silence and energetics there.
I suppose that people living in quiet areas are more healthy and moreenergetic! Thus rich people live in private residences out of town.
