    I mean, i agree. The amount of American sized cars i see in the netherlands nowadays is a lot.

    But they are pretty awesome cars so i get why someone would want one.

      I really have a hard time understanding what is “awesome” in these cars ? They are clearly not built to be efficient to drive in old European cities, and (even though that is very subjective) they aren’t nice to look at either.

          I don’t understand that part. I’ve got a 20-year-old f150, and it’s roomier than my parents’ new Highlander. That thing’s fuckin’ cramped compared to other stuff. Hell, the legroom in our 1991 Previa van is enormous compared to nearer newer Toyota shit.

            I am 6’ in freedom units and I was fine in 98 of 100 cars legroom wise, especially for distances within the city. And having a f150 because of legroom in a European city would really be antisocial behavior. You’re a handyman, ok…but as a private person? My point is that people have a BMW SUV because I need the space for my kids soccer training , but a VW Passat station wagon would give the same space, steal less space from other people, an accident would be less likely be deadly for others involved and less gas consumption. There are people needing big cars, but most ppl do not.
