Here's some (likely useless, at least for a car list anyway) trivia I 
picked up flipping through the TV channels one day (I think it was 
something on the Science channel that was about evolution): The average 
height of Asians is increasing due to a change in diet. It's going from 
predominately grain based (rice) to one with more meat in it. More meat = 
more protein which means more height.
