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.  :)

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.

Few pics:
 
 
 
 

Oh and it's also won "Car of the year 2002" competition  ;)
