The two-seat Daihatsu Copen blends the fuel economy of a mini with the sportiness of a roadster. Made in Japan, it features an aluminum retractable roof and a 1.3 liter engine that motors from 0 to 62 mph in a respectable 9.5 seconds. Its size might be off-putting to some American drivers but others would find it a great weekend car.
