Around 1991, it offered a very small car, the Suzuki Swift.

I dont think the train depot will be offering any cars anytime soon because there are no small cars, such as the Swift, that can fit on the platform.

I suspect that the car offered in that Train Depot Showcase wasn't placed on the train platform.  Can you prove me right or wrong, Tice?

Roger Dobkowitz's Seven Commandments of The Price Is Right:
1. Tape and edit the show as if it were live.
2. Never tell the contestant what to do.
3. Size matters. (The bigger the prize, the better the prize and the bigger the reaction.)
4. All prizes are good.
5. Never do anything on the show that would embarrass a parent with a kid watching.
6. Never put on a prize that would make the show look cheap.
7. It’s the game, stupid! (It’s about the game.)

I don't know about that...the Chevy Aveo is pretty tiny.

Yeah the Suzuki Swift and its twin the Geo/Chevy Metro were subcompacts, the smallest type of car made, excluding GEM cars.  The Aveo could be called the Metro's replacement, so a Train Depot showcase with an Aveo at the end would not surprise me.

I think they should have a truck as the locomotive.
