Who was the rocket scientist that decided to put tires on a pea?

It's the same rocket scientist who figured out that low weight and good mileage isn't a bad thing :).
You really don't need big cars for everything :).

That's Darwins simple survival theory wrapped up in there too...you have a small car, I have a truck, we have a head on collision...guess whos the fittest to survive to reproduce? (Hint: Think my big bellybutton truck wins the accident) ;)

Collision?? What collision, you'll be scraping the pea from your left front tire. :)

Hehehe! at worst I'd have to use my wind shield wipers and spray to get it off my windscreen...

I love the trend to motorcycles with doors. :D Methinks I be safer driving around looking at a sea of rooftops than a sea of hubcaps.

Looks nice Staga, more appropriate for Finland than the big American vehicles we drive over here.
_____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ _________________________
Read an interesting report on head on collisions that found that the biggest change in the likelyhood of fatalities in the car was not the size of the other vehicle, but whether or not the other vehicle was a truck. Even light Nissan and Toyota trucks drastically raised the danger. It seems that the rigidity of truck frams, due to their load bearing requirements, is not cunductive to the saftey of the other vehicle's occupants.
This had no bearing on the survivability of the occupants of the truck, e.g. don't think you're safer for being in a light truck.
I owned a '95 Nissan 2WD light pickup at that time.
I now own a 2001 Toyota 4WD full sized pickup, and it has done very well in crash tests. Still sucks to be the other guy though.

Actually it's bigger than it looks like :)
It's about 5-10cm higher than cars like VW Golf and it's also few cm wider. When driving it my eyes are in same level as roofs in other "family" cars.
0-100km/h 10,5 sec and top speed is 190km/h (1,6i/80kw/109hp).
Fuel consumption in city 9,5L/100km and in highway 6,5L/100km. It has hydro-electric power steering with variable boost, air-conditioner, ABS brakes with brake assist (if computer thinks driver has a "situation on" but doesn't brake hard enough it adds more pressure in brakes), that 1,5 square meter wind shield is metallic coated against heat in summer, Clarion sound-system with remote control under steering wheel and electronic connection between gas pedal and fuel injection.

Oh and it's also won "Car of the year 2002" competition ;)
-
I like it Staga! Congrats! (Now translate all that metric gibberish!) ;)
-
cool, have fun with Staga.

Doh I forgot: It has 6 airbags around the car and it also got better points in crash test than 300 class BMW ;)
Quote from Car buyers guide:
PEUGEOT 307 – EUROPEAN CAR OF THE YEAR 2002
Peugeot’s recently-launched 307 has scooped the European automotive industry’s most prestigious award – the title of ‘Car of the Year 2002’.
The 307 was the overall favourite of the 55 specialist judges, all senior motoring journalists from 21 countries across Europe. It took the title in the face of stiff opposition from six other finalists short-listed from 29 initial nominations.
The judges were given extensive access to each car, driving them on roads and test tracks over a period of several months. All aspects of the cars were evaluated, including performance, comfort and convenience, safety, build quality, design and handling.
The Peugeot 307 is one of the most technologically-advanced and highly-specified cars in its class, and boasts exceptional standards of safety and security combined with class-leading levels of space and equipment. Its sleek lines disguise the fact that it is actually one of the biggest cars in its class, with outstanding head and leg-room. The 307 is also Peugeot’s most environmentally-friendly car ever. Recycling and ease and safety of dismantling were prime considerations in the choice of materials and the construction of the vehicle.
The Car of the Year competition is now in its 39th year, and is internationally recognised as one of the most prestigious events in the automotive calendar. Previous Peugeot cars to have won include the 504 in 1969, and the 405 in 1988.
Oh and it's very nice to drive :)

Yes, 3-series set the new standard for safty in 2000, with the implemenation of Head Protection System airbags, mine has front, sides and HPS air bags, I see that Peugot has now surpassed what *was* the safest car on the road a year ago!~

I personally love Peugeot cars, currently own a '97 306 XSi (2 litres, 135 HP) and I love it.
For me the two top choices in the Peugeot family are the 206 Cabrio Coupé 2l, tiny but beautiful; Gloria (my girlfriend) will probably buy it when we have the cash, and the 406 coupé, a Pininfarina design which is in its most part a Ferrari 360 rip-off :) :)
Rip, I also love BMWs, but I wouldn't settle for anything less than a M3 ;)

RIP I think it runs 48 miles / U.S gallon in highway and top speed is 118mph (Yeah, It's slow if compared to 3 liter german cars...). Our cars are over taxed here in Finland; That 307 costs about 22,000$ here and gasoline is about 1$/liter :mad:
