That infographic fascinates me. It's obviously not made by an American because never received a car branded as the Qashqai which should have been labeled as the Hyundai Kona. Same as the CX-8. We have the CX-9 here. With those said, the detailed drawings of the cars are beautiful!! I am a bit shocked at the Maverick, being Ford's "tiny" truck sitting so low on the list.

I'm just loving the fact a fucking tank has better visibility then a few of those trucks

[-] neutronicturtle@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I think it's an error. It's should likely be Nissan Quashqai. Or Hyundai ix35/Tucson.

[-] Chreutz@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure that's a Nissan Quashqai.

[-] Syldon@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Nissan builds the Qashqai. Source I am an owner. Nissan also used to build ford Mavericks in the 90's.

[-] Nepher@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I knew that. I messed up. Rarely see the schematic type sketches of cars and seeing the body lines from the side like that made me think it was a Kona or i35. The front end is definitely a Nissan.

The Qashqai is now a Nissan Kicks.

[-] Phrodo_00@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The Nissan Qashqai is the Nissan Rogue, and I think it's what's shown in the drawing

Ya lost all Americans.

Au contraire. We Americans think easily in both Imperial and SI. In terms of units we’re bilingual. It’s you 10-10-10 types whose brains have been scrambled by your over-easy conversions and estimates.

What the stink are you talking about

The only Americans I know who know any proper amount of metric converting are folks in technical fields that require it. The layman knows that metric exists, most don't learn how to convert, and I've even met a couple different people who were proud of not using metric.

This is a weird argument to be having, but I think I agree with the person above, minus the smugness. I haven't run into a situation in the US in many years where someone didn't use both. Especially in a global economy where we ship things all over the world, metric is everywhere in the US.

I love the inclusion of the M1 battle tank
