Small cars are just better. They get better gas mileage, can park in all those compact spaces, are easier to parallel park, etc. most people with trucks use them to haul stuff less than once a year. They could be driving a smaller, more efficient car and rent a u-haul once a blue moon. You save money on car payments and gas.
Nobody needs a lifted monster truck to go to work or go grocery shopping.
Technically yes, but only barely just.
Americans still love their oversized trucks and SUVs and that fact isn’t going anywhere.
In fact, some would rather have that truck and fall into loan delinquency than do without. Affordability be damned.
And American automakers still refuse to make smaller vehicles because smaller framed vehicles are more competitive at their price points. Those behemoth vehicles have just as big margins.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a smaller vehicle, you’re going to have to go to a Japanese or Korean manufacturer or EV/hybrid.
It sure is a good thing American automakers have diversified their lineup after learning a valuable lesson from ‘06/‘07 that going entirely with trucks and SUV’s was a terrible idea.
Good for the environment win win
A vocal minority or maybe a soft-spoken majority have wanted them back for 5 years now at least.
Good.
Most people don’t need big ass trucks or SUVs which are worse for the environment, cause more wear and tear on roads, and are more fatal for pedestrians/cyclists.
