It's not my favorite, but as far as world sales go, my rebuttal is:

*Audi A3
*Mercedes A Class
*BMW Mini Cooper
VW Polo
Fiat 500
Honda Fit

The list goes on, but ALL of those are selling very well. The first 3 are 'luxury' a-cars. Look at the styling on the Mercedes/VW/Fiat/Honda- They're all unusual looking and it seems to attract the demographic their shooting for. It's hard to make a sleek A-car which banks on fitting 4 people in the smallest footprint, so you are going to have a very upright car with low overhangs and a small hood.
