Europe is going a little green crazy, especially central London, where from October this year they will charge you the equivalent of $50 per day to drive anything with a 3.0L or larger engine (if the fascist, pinko, car-hating mayor is re-elected).
These deathtraps are increasingly common and make the Smarts seem like an E-Class Mercedes by comparison:
Dimensions: L 2.6m, W 1.3m, H 1.6m. Wheel base 1.7m. Just multiply by 3 for feet for you non-metric guys in the audience.
I actually feel physically ill whenever I see one on the road...
