Small cars for Middle Eastern folks (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saudis

'middle eastern folks' is the definition.
(people from Saudi Arabia)

'small cars' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'cars' becomes 'Audis' (Audi is a car manufacturer).
's'+'audis'='SAUDIS'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for saudis that I've seen before include "Inhabitants of an Arab kingdom" , "Nationality of citizens living in Riyadh" , "Citizens of Riyadh, nationally" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
