I wish I had spent some time in Switzerland while I was over there. I only traveled through it on an overnight. Got stopped for customs and ice/snow buildups on the tracks for about an hour and I stepped out to the station just to have a peak. Really beautiful(I was travelling through Southern Switzerland(not to poke fun but should I even specify, its kind of a small country. ..just kidding))

Yeah ok I can believe that Citroens were about the size of VW and Honda. Today Most of the, or rather a couple of years ago, the main stream citroens I saw were all not tiny but definitely the size of the Civic 2 dr or a little bit smaller, so thats why I said they were smaller. Compared to Ford and GM's mainline cars they are tiny, but compared to most cars they are just a little bit smaller.

Ok yes I can accept that the SUV is a dying breed. I am hesitant to say it and get my hopes up. A future without large consumer cars is a future in which people's tires are not capable of crushing through my roof, and a good future when a substantial number of them run lights late enough for me to be in the road.

Ah as to the horsepower I thought it was either you or Daox or metro and each of you would have different reasons for saying something like that. I totally agree, weight reduction then get the horsepower, not add horses until you get what you want to your 2 tonne car.

Specifications | Ariel Atom 3 | Base Price 65,000 USD 0-60 2.9 seconds curb weight 1200 lbs total HP 250. suck it GTR. And for 30,000 dollars less.

Oops. . .the Atom 1 was going for 44 KUSD, the specs for hp and times are the same. Actually. . .everything is the same except the new ones have more body to them so lower Cd.
