So European Union........

I can buy this monster, the Ineos Grenadier.

A car that is 4,927 mm (194.0 in) in length to 1,930 mm (76.0 in) wide and 2,033 mm (80.0 in) high, and weighs 5,900 pounds. That has the option to be powered by the 3.0L B57 inline 6 diesel engine that has 3250-4200rpm.

But i can’t buy THIS. The Suzuki Jimny.

A car that has a tiny 102 horse power gas engine, that is 3,480 meters long, has a wheelbase of 2,250 meters, is 1,720 meters high, and that only weighs 1075kg. A car i can’t buy in the EU because it’s “too poluting in emissions” . Yeah, totally not anything fishy going on AT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
