Comment on The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier.

What reality do you live in that you think vehicles in the U.S. are getting smaller? Please compare a new Colorado or Maverick pickup to an S-10 or Ranger from the 90’s. Sales of fullsize cars have decreased over time (but that’s only because they have been replaced by trucks and SUVs).

Let me give you the TLDR summary. I made the point that trucks and SUVs became popular about the same time that full size cars got smaller in America.

No where did I state that trucks or SUVs got smaller.

You can’t tell me a 80s Chevy Caprice is the same size as a 23 Honda Accord or Nissan Maxima.
