@mattbrowne It is so frustrating that the cars exist, and they are not here in America, and worse, many are made by American manufacturers. There needs to be a huge cultural shift in America. I know people who are convinced they need to the larger DUV’s because on our roads they are in an unsafe diasadvantage when in a smaller ca than most of what is on the roadways. It took time for so many to start owning SUV’s and it will take time to reverse it.
@optimisticpessimist Back in the day people had cars when they had three kids and groceries, not huge SUV’s. I don’t know what you own, but a verticle trunk is rarely necessary, regular car trunks usually have plenty of room, and if America will go back to a bank seet in their more moderate cars, rather than form fitting seats in back, three children can usually fit comfortably. We are just conditioned to think we need the bigger, higher of the ground vehicle. Older teens I can understand wanting more space.
Part of it of course is in America our road trips are longer than many other countries, and so we want more comfort when we drive.
