One of the reasons this diesel gas sipper and other like it in europe are not sold in the USA is because they lack exhaust emission devices that are required by the USA environmental regulations.

You forgot to add another insult! This is a silly discussion. Small or big depends on your frame of reference. My Prius is just the right size for me.

If one car has a big boot and little rear seat space, is it bigger than a car with ample rear seat space and a small boot..? You may consider the Prius to be a small car, but it certainly has a lot more room inside than the new Mercedes E-class Coupe than I recently sampled.

It's somewhat easier than that. If you look at *all* the cars in a particular class and find that they fall within a range of size short of some minor variations, yet you have one that is clearly significantly smaller than all the rest you don't need to be Einstein to figgure out that the odd one doesn't belong in that pack. > You may consider the Prius to be a small car, Thank you. I do, and largely because it is...... > but it certainly has a lot more room inside than the new Mercedes E-class > Coupe than I > recently sampled. It's got more room than a few cars in the "small" class, but that doesn't automatically qualify it as a "mid sized vehicle". -- Regards, Noddy. |
