Yeah, I guess SEAT's are just re-badged volkswagons. But the other makers have rebadged versions of the same car, I'm sure you can think of a couple right away.
Yes, a miscellaneous section would work really well, as small companies usually have neat cars.
Messerschmitt: THe one I know of is the KR200. It was a bubble car made from 1953-1961. It had 3 wheels(2 in front), a rear-mounted (a la porsche) 191cc twostroke single cylinder engine, with about 10hp. It could go 50mph. It had a 4 speed manual. Weight:550lbs, independent suspension all around (ohhh, how advanced).
They made 50000 of them. In german, the KR meant Kabinenroller, which means sedan scooter.

And the Focke-Wulf wasn't a messerschmidt, it was a Focke-Wulf (ironic, isn't it) And the 190A used a 1700hp BMW 14 cylinder radial engine. The 109E used a 1100 hp Daimler-benz V12.

All fairly good ideas, now can igor make it happen?
