Cut him a break, he doesn’t even seem to know descend means to go lower.

Chevy’s already has that covered.

Hopefully, your surviving children will rebel against the hyperventilating stupidity of their parents.

“mY KiDs fiRSt!!1!”

All you said is “fuck everyone else, Imma drive a tank!” . Which is great, until everyone else also gets a tank, and now you need TankV2 to feel safe again. That’s stupid and you’re part of that stupidity.

It shouldn’t be an arms race, first of all. What is the end result? Everyone in a Sherman tank? Sure, SUV’s are somewhat safer for the occupants in general. Especially when going against a sedan, or compact. So, now I can’t drive a sedan or compact because you’re selfish? Also, there are plenty of circumstances where…

If you only need a huge SUV to protect you from other huge SUVs, then buying an even huger SUV is just an arms race, not actual safety.

People don’t buy cars based on need though, it’s more on wants and perhaps occasional need (for example that once a year trip). If everyone bought based on needs, we wouldn’t have cars without so many speakers, power locks, windows, infotainment, etc.

You could shuttle your family around in a sedan as well. Depending on the Subaru, it may not be that big really. 

Sorry, that’s crap. A Honda Fit can cross the country just as easily as a 21' truck. We have paved interstates. We aren’t driving across a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Very few of the people with giant SUVs and trucks actually need giant SUVs and trucks. Even in Manhattan, Kansas.

“We have space, long distances between towns, big roads, weather extremes, and big parking spaces in the vast majority of the U.S. that just don’t compute from an E.U. perspective.”

As others have said - full size trucks and SUVs make sense on a case by case basis - what the individual uses it for. Not on a ‘location by location’ basis. The simple fact of the matter is that lots of people want to need a truck, but don’t actually need a truck.  

Weather extremes? Nordic countries get along quite well with tons of snow and smaller vehicles. Rain and heat don’t matter for trucks vs. cars.

We have space, long distances between towns, big roads, weather extremes, and big parking spaces in the vast majority of the U.S. that just don’t compute from an E.U. perspective

Full size trucks and SUVs make perfect sense in much of the country.

After visiting Europe and seeing the size of vehicles that European families have no problem with, size-wise, you will come home and realize how retarded (I said it, sue me) it seems for Americans to have such massive vehicles as we do. 

Instead, the secret point bonuses led people to feel gaslit about how difficult it was to achieve three stars on lighter characters.

In 50 years they havent developed any technology to get from one side of the highway to another?  In 50 years businesses have only developed on one side of the bridge? 

I could get 47 mph out of a Honda Elite 80 scooter, downhill with a tailwind. It could keep up with city traffic
