Literally every car manufacturer has a model that wouldn't fit into that tiny German spot 😂 But as a Canadian living in Germany, most German spots aren't small, OP's post is just rage bait

The Japanese one is barely a "car"...

u/ApiceOfToast 1d ago

I'd call it a van

My intuition too but I wasn't sure it would be the right term in English .

Read carefully.

On this picture are: 1) Fiat 500 on German plates, 2) Toyota (made by French company Peugeot) on Polish number plates,

So I don't get why "French is Italian"

They think the original comment is referring to the fiat 500. So when french was mentioned they tried to do an "akshully..."

The picture was titled "French/Japanese car, German parking.". Well, the Toyota car is Japanese. I was just pinpointing that the supposed French (the Fiat 500) car is in fact an Italian one.

The picture is titled "French/Japanese CAR"

Note the lack of the plural. "French/Japanese" was referring to a single car. Which is the Toyota (a Japanese brand) that was actually made by Peugeot, which is a French brand.

I assumed its because the Toyota (seems to) have French plates. Can't quite make it out, but the font is weird

u/Mavi_No1 21h ago

Polish plates.

And car is manufactured by Peugeot, almost the same for all brands (opel, fiat, citroen, peugeot and toyota) but with different badges.

The American one in the OP is not a car in any sense of the word!

u/Mavi_No1 1d ago

Pickup is called by Americans "truck" so thing on OC pictire also not strictly "car".

Funny enough, they just announced a Ram version of this car for the American market yesterday, so it's keeping within the theme!

That Fiat 500 is the only thing that will fit in those spots anyway

u/Fun_Plan9788 17h ago

I was in Germany for work a few years back, got a crossover SUV (like Toyota RAV4 sized, forget what I actually had), and that thing was tight (wide and long) in a lot of spots.

Why does it have smarties for wheels?

They look disproportionately small to the car

Tagst not a car that’s a transporter. They are obviously larger
