Same counter size as a bike, probably very close to a subcompact tho design-wise (they're short, but tall).
One can extrapolate the stats for a car that's one level below a subcompact fairly easily.

Microcar - $200, 700 lbs., max. load 1,300 lbs., spaces 4, armor $10/4 lbs. Microcars are represented by a 1/2" x 1/2" counter and have the same HC as a subcompact. They use cycle/trike power plants and tires. They can mount a zero-space turret, but no rocket platforms or EWPs.

Quark - Microcar, x-hvy. chassis, hvy. suspension, medium cycle power plant, 4 PR tires, driver, MML front w/AP rockets, FCD back, SWC (MML). Armor: F20, R20, L20, B15, T2, U3. Accel. 5, top speed 100, HC 4; 1,550 lbs., $5,000.

One Japanese entry for a car of this class can fit four adults and has the same 'footprint' as the SmartCar - and another, sportier model generated 395bhp.

CW Unicycles

These strange vehicles possess only one oversized wheel, the center of which houses the power-plant and other essentials, and provides anchor points for weaponry.

Body Cost: +100%
Wheel: Use Truck wheel values, there is only the single wheel.
Wheel Hubs: Use Car/Truck values. In addition to protecting the wheel, these guards also protect the engine.

Unicycles can only have one occupant, who sits / lies on a form-fitting platform in front of the main wheel. Needless to say, head-on collisions involving Unicycles are usually fatal.
The nature of the single large wheel and low center of gravity increase the HC by one.
Unicycles cannot fit sidecars or Cycle Windshells, but can fit 'turret saddles'
Turret Saddles have turret spaces, and provide an additional body space. They provide the Unicycle with Top, Side and Bottom armour locations, and strengthen the overall design (giving a maximum load increase for the Unicycle).
Turret Saddles have a full 360-degree arc of fire, as they are mounted directly over the central wheel (the highest point of the Unicycle)
If a Unicycle has a Turret Saddle fitted, the central wheel gains protection from the side armour (if any) in the same manner as a Wheelguard. If the wheel also has hubs, the side armour is checked first, then the hub, then the wheel. However, any weapons fire that does strike the wheel itself has a 2 in 6 chance of striking the engine / power plant.

Light Turret Saddle
Price=1000
Weight=200
Max Load=+500
Body Spaces=+1
Turret Spaces=1
ArmorCost=As Cycle
ArmorWeight=As Cycle

Heavy Turret Saddle

Price=2000
Weight=400
Max Load=+800
Body Spaces=+1
Turret Spaces=2
ArmorCost=As Cycle
ArmorWeight=As Cycle

Monocycle Variant
As the Unicycle, but the single wheel is over 6' in diameter, and the whole chassis is suspended in the middle. Targetting modifiers for the wheel remain the same as cycles, for the simple fact that the wheel is not a solid target but a hoop covered in rubber.
A front or rear ram attempt involving a Monocycle -may- result in the Monocycle riding over the other vehicle, providing it is not oversized. Use 'steamroller' rules, taking note of the damage modifiers and Hazard values.
A Monocycle that rams, or one that is rammed from the front or rear, must assign damage to the wheel before any other component, including vehicle armour. A Monocycle that is rammed from the side calculates damage normally.
A Monocycle cannot mount a Turret Saddle - a body modification purely for Monocycles mounts a pair of single-space Sponson Turrets either side of the vehicle, but otherwise conforms to the Heavy Turret Saddle specifications. The weapons in the sponsons must have identical weights - matching weapons may be smart-linked to fire at targets directly in front or behind (the target crosses a theoretical line drawn through the middle of the Monocycle counter, parallel to it's facing)

Monocycle Weapons Platform:
Price=2000
Weight=400
Max Load=+800
Body Spaces=+1
Turret Spaces= 1 + 1
ArmorCost=As Cycle
ArmorWeight=As Cycle

Hey gents, I just got back from a five day emergency call up of my NG unit, to deal with all this freaking snow, so I'm running behind on everything. Once I get caught up, I'll finish editing the PDF, and get it out to you. Sorry for the delay.

Don't worry about it - Real Life always interrupts. Most gamers understand.

OK, I'm most finished with this, and hope to have it ready be the weekend. One request, if you guys see any typos, grammatical errors, or something just flat out doesn't make sense to you, could you shoot me a PM, and let me know about it? I'll do my best to fix the problem, and get a corrected copy out to you ASAP. Thanks in advance.
