I’m pretty sure it’s choice as in “choose your weapon,” and not “muh freedoms”. Either way tho, material from a magazine literally called Car and Driver seems a bit low effort for this community :)

Probably also a reference to the song Weapon of Choice
Super sedans? Still overpowered, but at least not oversized, so I guess it could be an improvement over the current standard of Emotional Support Vehicle...
My weapon of choice is Škoda ForCity Smart.
I was confused at first: Since when does Škoda produce the Smart? Didn't know they also build trains. 🚈🚃🚃🚃
In Oslo you can drive Porsche.
Tap for spoiler
"The units are designed by Porsche Design Studio".

Whenever I meet someone who's proud to drive Mercedes, I tell them, that it only costs 2,10€ to drive Mercedes. (In German, to drive and to ride (a bus/car/train) is the same word).
I knew that Škoda used to build tanks and planes, I just didn't know about the trains.
There are 2 Škoda companies in Czech Republic. One is in Mladá Boleslav, makes cars and is part of VW. The other one is in Plzeň and makes trams, trains and other.
