Americans are slopping up those huge cars, but that's in the context of numerous regulations that discourage smaller cars and box out competition that could offer alternatives.

i would be interested in reading a big rear end paper on how the gently caress americans got brainwashed into changing their opinions on suvs from marge simpson mom style "gay" cars for "pussies" into something a "red blooded american man" could buy without incredible shame. this changed over like 10 yrs

Maybe you're thinking of minivans though, which have a different chassis arrangement, sliding doors, and a rounder shape. All of these are "gay." SUVs on the other hand are basically trucks with extra interior space instead of a bed.

Modern SUVs are basically minivans though structurally (and this is a good thing), there aren't many truck-based SUVs anymore. The new Bronco Sport is a rebodied Escape and that's built on the global Focus platform.

You’re getting more vehicle for your inflation-adjusted buck.

The young guy who parks his blackout Brodozer next to my gay (derogatory) coupe is a high school teacher. But he grew up in a rural area. However, it was in town. But that's a part of rural American culture, pretending everyone still works in the fields. Also, lol at buying a $60,000 vehicle that costs more than your salary.

my bony fealty posted:every time I see some huge monstrosity pickup I wonder how people can afford it and the answer is I guess they can't really, they're paying huge monthly payments at 10% rates for 72 months A 72-month loan is relatively fiscally responsible these days. 84- and 96-month loans are fairly common, wouldn't surprise me if there were a few 108-month loans out there.
