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.
