The big difference between the two being that the four wheels of a car aren't all shoved together at that end.

BEHOLD:
For some reason, that precise angle made me think of a Corgie. I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing, I'm just saying that's what I thought of.
I was gonna say the same thing. Nacelles are heavier per square foot than the rest of the ship.
Ooo this is a good one, just as the landing pads start to splay out..
Reminds me of Godzilla's tiny little front feet.

Pembroke or Cardigan?
And.. that is very cute.
Voyager's little chicken feet were ridiculous. The saucer-heavy ship would have tipped forwards.
And before the usual suspects (for this has come up before) chime in with talk of invisible magic fields, let me say: I don't care, they still look stupid!
There's no need for invisible magic fields.
Just the really heavy warp coils in the nacelles right that the back of the ship providing a counter-balance.
Don't know--I haven't met too many of them. One of them used to live across the alley from me, though, and he looked so dignified despite those short little legs.
Yes they are excellent dogs, I used to have one myself. And I love that the Queen has had generations of them. They are a big dog in a small dog's body as they are cattle herders.
Thanks for that mental image.
Now I've got a mental image of Voyager rolled all the way over, with it's little chicken feet stuck straight up in the air like a dead bird.
NOooooooooooooo.....
You people are cruel.
You people are cruel.
Even though Voyager's tiny little legs are disproportionately small, seeing Voyager land on a planet was always cool enough to compensate for that (the few times it did).
It definitely looks like it would tip over, although I have no idea what the weight distribution of the ship is, with all of the engineering section vs the saucer section. Considering the immense weight of a starship, I would guess the engineering section and warp nacelles might take up a large chunk of that (or maybe just wishful thinking for this to work).

BLUE ALERT!!!!
And now we see them fully deployed!
Why are there lights on the underside of the feet?
They're "Help me!" strobes for when the ship tips over in a breeze.

They're for the camera that captures the looks on the faces of those the Voyager sits on.
