It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

    Why do people even like inefficient, huge cars if they’re not going to use most of its features, not even in the foreseeable future? Such a bloated design for an everyday car, and even more potentially dangerous at that… those Japanese cars have a more elegant and sleek design, as well as efficient. Well, I would like good public transportation too.

    No matter how you look at it, all the pros of those kind of cars turn into cons when they’re used as cars for everyday personal transport.

      In America they are mostly bought because of consumerism and fragile masculinity.

      Where I live trucks are at around half the vehicles. My wife and I play a game where we try to spot a truck hauling something that they actually needed the truck for. Most trips I’ll see dozens of trucks and zero being necessary.

        Do you see them on the weekends when they’re hauling their 4 wheelers, boats, or motorcycles? You probably don’t make it to the outdoors much, but there’s good reasons to have a pickup.
