lol i like that picture. you can barely see the guy inside it but he has this look about him like he totally doesn't want to be there...
the thing to remember is that on North American roadways, those high fuel economy cars can be downright scary. try merging in a Geo Metro (or similar small car) on a freeway in rush hour traffic. now technically you can usually get those things up to freeway speed given the length of an onramp, but real life situations are often different. motorists around where i live at least have this annoying tendency to coast down the onramp at about 25 MPH, and then punch the throttle as they merge. that works great witha V8 and over 300HP, but if you've got less than a 3rd of that and you're behind this clown, you're still going 30 when the rest of the traffic is going 70+.
