I know it's a totally different situation, but it's quite surprising that a good old Jeep is actually shorter and narrower than a Volkswagen up! city-car.

No wonder Toyota had to develop different bodies for the JDM Corolla, with the most noticeable difference being the width. That's because of regulations that put cars over 1,70m width, 4,70m lenght, or both, at a disfavorable tax bracket.

Landcruiser got too big so prado and Rav4 was born. Current Rav4 is nearly as big as the landcruiser we had as kids.

Suddently, it got me to realise the size of a J40-series would be much more suitable for city-driving than most of the current soft-roaders out there.
