AFAIK, there is just one World. But since it's round, it naturally
limits your perspective.

I never said it was large. Only that calling it small would be correct
only in a very limited perspective, such as yours.

Uh-huh....

That's why you have to limit your comparisons to what the Italians drive,
right?

Australia's, America's, Japans, New Zealands, South America's, the UK. Yeah,
you're right. It's pretty limited.

Getting nasty again, are we? FIY, even a Toyota iQ is big enough to
contain you (I'm sure). Why don't you get one.
Then, at least, we'd have containment.

You really are running short on arguments now, aren't you?

If you did get an iQ, you could actually claim to have an iQ.
And I'm not suggesting you don't. Although you do. If you see what I
mean. But I guess not.

When referring to your limited perspective, I didn't mean places you'd
been to, just your view on cars.

Ooh looky. More wonderful insight from an American who doesn't know her
arsehole from a carrot.

How fascinating.
