Diminutive autos are all over in European cities where parking is almost nonexistent and gas is over $4.00 a gallon. You can see Tom Hanks zip around Paris in one in "The Da Vinci Code." Until recently, you couldn't buy one of these in the United States. But now, ZAP, a California company whose name stands for Zero Auto Pollution, has started importing the 60-mpg cars. The company believes that the tiny two seaters will ride the same wave of popularity that has made the Mini Cooper a hit and spawned a new class of compacts that includes the Honda Fit, the Toyota Yaris, and the Nissan Versa.
