#2 Rather than snarking about how the energy absorbing front passenger compartment collapses to protect luggage in the trunk, all I am going to say is if your dog chases one and catches it, don't let him put it in his mouth.

#7 Actually, you just insulted the Trabant, Zenster. This things are suicide junkers that make the original VW Bug look like an armored car, in terms of safety. I don't think the importers of these will survive the first wave of liability lawsuits coming after the first few accidents in the US.

#8 Actually, you just insulted the Trabant

A difficult and thankless task at best.
