  They’ve also targeted maternal instincts. You can’t get a mother to look at a car unless the hood is taller than someone else’s child.

    Also car seats are enormous and don’t fit well into compact cars unless the passenger side seat is all the way up and maybe not even then.

      Who said anything about compacts? A modern station wagon would work great inplace of an SUV.

        I’m just explaining why parents might opt for a larger car especially if they have multiple children. It used to be mini vans, now it’s SUVs or crossovers which are probably not much bigger than station wagons.

  I like when people drive lifted pickups without a speck of dirt in the bed. I call those vehicles the Pedestrian Killer 9000

  Emissions regulations apply differently to vehicles of different sizes.

  It also makes up for their obviously small penis as well. Use to be muscle cars.

    I forget which gen we were in, but once I was a passenger with a driver who worked sales a Hummer dealership. We were driving back to a summer camp, and as we’re passing the top of what in the winter is the tobogganing hill, he goes “guys hold on, check this out.” He goes offroad down a significant incline, mowing down saplings and dodging trees, rocks, etc, with all of us kids just trying to hold on in the back because the seats lack bolstering. We get to the bottom and he’s just like “cool right?” It was kind of cool, and it’s also what made it the perfect karenmobile.
