American, here; can't stand large cars. Which is why I plan on driving my 350Z forever.
FR though the one in the upper right corner is a real thing. When I inherited my grandfather’s truck I swear suddenly everyone in the family needed something moved. I get asked at least once a month to help move something or lend it out lol.
At least once it’s your truck you can say no. When you’re a tall teen and dad/grandpa have pickups, suddenly you’re getting voluntold to be a furniture mover on a Saturday morning.
Nothing at all in this about how few actual cars are still being sold. Because the NHTSB have made it so that passenger vehicles require a certain number of safety features and fuel efficiency, bigger vehicles means more money for auto makers and not having to produce vehicles that are as fuel efficient or safe as their larger counter parts.
My local roads are shit, the SUV prevents me damaging my vehicle in all the potholes / construction zones.
I would totally rock a Slate, though.
You can have my Corolla when you pry my cold, dead body from it
Giggling in hatchback at this.
pecuniary emulation drives consumers to spend more on displays of wealth and status symbols, as opposed to more useful commodities.
aka, Keeping Up With The Joneses, Conspicuous Consumption.
The last one is a significant concern. Huge trucks and SUVs are so prevalent and they're so big it seems like the drivers aren't as aware of their surroundings. I'd love to see us move to taxing based on vehicle weight/mileage since it's the true measure of how much wear a vehicle puts on the roads. You want that insane Hummer EV? You're paying 20x what the guy in a Civic is paying.
The "light truck" exemption is a huge problem, and needs to be repealed.
Big cars also reduce everyone else's visibility.
I feel this so much in my 90s hatchback :'(
The SUV plague is a european phenomenon too.
Probably this effect:

Interesting that they referenced the infographic multiple times but couldn't be bothered to put it in the article.
That last one is actually legitimate. My wife was rear ended twice at a red light. Her physiatrist, recommended she gets a slightly bigger car because it would change the angle of impact if it happens again. The lower more reclined angle could potentially kill her if she's hit again.
She went from a car to a compact SUV. Small change, but she is now in a more upright seated position.
The vehicle size arms race. Large cars force other cars to become larger just to match their mass in an accident. Still doesn't mean if you buy a large vehicle that you're not making the problem worse
I wouldn't call a Honda HR-V large.
It's ok, tramp is going to teach everyone about frugality, lol. They can eat military parades.
That's really bad, sorry, yet that extra safety also makes it more unsafe to spot e.g. children crossing the street (better to have a higher tilt angle in that case)
A Honda HR-V is not very big and has plenty of visibility.
