I don't know what kind of car it is, but I have noticed over the years that in every movie where a couple is in Europe and rents a car, it's always one of thise dinky little cars that they can barely fit in and they're luggage is always sticking out of the top of the car. I think it started in 1973's A TOUCH OF CLASS and the tradition continues here.
shareUhhh...maybe because it's hard as hell to rent a non-tiny car in Europe...unless you want to pay a ton of money. Why? For starters, the gas is a billion times more expensive than it is in the U.S., and it's by the liter not the gallon, and parking is more complicated (less of it, and smaller spaces)...so by default there is a totally different attitude toward driving as a general rule in the EU. You simply will not see a European driving a huge SUV or extended cab pickup truck on his or her leisure time...
My boyfriend, who lives in Germany, drives what we would call a sedan (an Opal) and he's considered by some to have a very large car, especially because it's only him most of the time.
That's utter *beep* Europe is littered with SUV's and pickups, and are you forgetting that Mercedes, BMW's, Rovers, Jaguars, etc are some of the biggest sedans on earth now that that silly fad of making Cadilacs and Lincolns 55feet long has finally ended. I reckon US car designers in the 60's and 70's had problems in the penis department.
About the only thing you will rarely find on a European road is a big-ass RV and that's because if there's one of you then wear a backpack and if there's two or more then buy plane tickets. You don't waste half a million bucks on a house with wheels.
Ergo the "tiny European car" joke is as relevant as a Brit saying "Oh bloody hell" in every single scene or German guys always having blonde hair and shouting.
