I can't find my own quote but I thought I remembered posting somewhere in these forums comparing the Novus D minion and the snow-covered cars in Garlemald to an old Honda or Suzuki kei car (which were based on older European peoples' cars).

But those were meant for driving in the city instead of going on the highway. Even today I'm sure most Japanese (where the game was made) and Europeans (that the Garleans are based on) travel via rail instead of car anyway. I don't think car ownership was very high in Soviet Russia either.
