Ah, but do you think the Alpine would pass the Swedish Government's 'Moose 
Test'.

This requires a vehicle to avoid a stationary moose, at 50MPH, without 
flipping.

This was famously failed by the Mercedes A class, when it first came out, 
requiring a total recall, and modifications to the design.

We don't get too many moose here in the UK, so I've never had the opportunity 
to put this to the test.

I did once, however, manage to avoid a drunk sitting in the fast lane of a 
highway at 80MPH.
