I really can't.  I just can't imagine.  I saw an American Top Gear the
other day and they were tooling around in a Peele Trident.  The car
seats two, but honestly it only fit this one large American seated
squarely in the middle so the car wouldn't list one way or the other.
I'm trying to imagine a country populated by Austins, Fiats and
Citroens encountering a 1960 Desoto  with twice the sheetmetal in the
tail fins as the common European grocery getter.  And 5+ times the
motor.

Wow.
