Moderns Kas are Fiat 500s.The Ka+ seems to be a cheapified Fiesta for lower income markets, and not derived from the normal Ka.
Another use for an SUV.
Kim, you are very bad!

At some point, SUVs are going to come with built-in microwave ovens...

I've rarely had trouble parking at a supermarket, you just have to walk a little further (which is fine when you've got a trolley to carry all the stuff in one go).

Shouldn't turning it into a mobile kitchen reneder it liable for commercial VED?
Surely the "van" speed limits should be applied to these behemoth SUVs?And the M6 Toll should charge then the van rate?After all, they are bigger and heavier than some vans. When I am plodding along gently in Big Van (my sleep-over van, registered as a motorhome, slept in when working away on client sites) it does shock me rather to see the speed those things go at. Move Over White Van Man- you have competition!GC
Anyway, so basically they're too big, too powerful, too fast, too polluting, and more dangerous for everyone, including their occupants.

As the global fleet of SUVs has grown, its emissions have increased more than fourfold in just eight years.
Safety Gap Grows Wider Between S.U.V.'s and Cars
People driving or riding in a sport utility vehicle in 2003 were nearly 11 percent more likely to die in an accident than people in cars, the figures show.
''It's largely a function of the rollover problem,'' said Rae Tyson, a spokesman for the traffic agency. ''In certain types of crashes, you're more likely to be better off in an S.U.V., but that is offset by the fact the you're more likely to roll over.''
The ways that people who own different types of vehicles tend to drive them is also a factor, especially in the case of sports cars.
