I'm pretty sure the scales are different. Look at the door handles: regardless of the size of the vehicle, anything that interact with human beings should be roughly the same scale and the door handles just aren't.
Not to say that American trucks aren't ridiculously oversized of course, but that photo looks doctored to me.
Miata door handles are built for a finger or fingers and not a whole hand. The scale is correct.
Well, I'm an avid cyclist and left the US 25 years ago, and if that's really the kind of behemoth that roams the streets in the US today, I'm glad I did.
people have been posting photos of such vehicles in europe and other places where nothing is designed to accomodate such a large truck and its a miserable look that they were allowed in at all
I also miss tiny cars that feel like I’ve strapped on a super suit
