    I hate how normal large vehicles like trucks and SUVs have become here in the US. Especially because 90% of people who buy them don’t actually need them. I see so many big stupid vehicles all over the place with a single person just going to the grocery store.

      Why would anyone in their right mind load up the whole family on the way to the grocery?

      Should everyone with a large family also have a small car to get groceries?

        I make Costco runs in my Golf just fine. Very few families really NEED that giant vehicle. Even the ones that do, could easily get by with a normal 5 seater car and one larger vehicle.

      As a result, people like me who used to love buying subcompact cars can’t get them anymore.

      I think only Nissan still sells one. And I don’t really want a nissan.
