And whats wrong with a minivan? I rather have a bunch of those running around than the massive SUV obsession America has right now.

Shirtless too.

tough one, since getting street view photos that were updated in the last few years is harder to do. basically none of Germany has been updated since like 2010, it seems.

find the google street view car in street view. to make it harder, it cannot be the impreza version.

Does this count? It turns out that downtown Chicago they uses multiple Hyundai Elantra hatchbacks(blue, white, grey), but getting a good image of one reflected in the windows of the big buildings proved to be harder than expected.
