... it's quite simple really!!
If you were planning a 9,000 kilometre trip from the Swiss Alps to the Arctic Circle, what car would you choose? The large comfortable station wagon? Nonsense, you'd choose the little plastic sports car. The one that has minimal seat padding and negligible luggage space. Ah, the one with the dynamics of a ballerina and a permanent feel-good factor. Yes, the Lotus Elise, of course.
