American here. Cars that size are a available here, but most of them are getting phased due to people buying crossovers instead. It’s true that if you count sales by vehicle nameplate trucks come out on top, but trucks as a share of market are far outpaced by smaller SUVs.
I totally agree that there is an American preference for larger vehicles than Europe, and that the bigger size often isn’t justified. It’s just not quite as stark as that picture shows.
It could also be that the average American is just fat as fuck and needs the extra space inside.
A full 2/3 of us are obese or overweight. Contrast to just 30 years ago, when most Americans were fairly thin. This ain’t normal, but it’s been normalized.
found the fuckcars lemming!
No us cars are just bad. They literally had to ban other cars to save their domestic market.
And since it was america it was thanks to lobbying from chrysler-bens. Aka something we call “corruption” in europe.
I don’t know where ridoro1 is from, but American cars differ from European cars differ quite a bit in their focus. Here’s an image of the two best selling cars in 2022: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWON9QYUUAAGHtd?format=jpg&name=large
