The cheapest cars start at like $25k anyway and depreciate much faster than a truck/full-size. Plus fuel cost is massively subsidized. I’ve seen even eco-conscious friends of mine get FlexFuel F150s because it just doesn’t make sense to buy a small car. It’s like movie theatre popcorn pricing
Yeah; I think economics is the real reason. Large trucks are massively subsidized (fuel, the truck itself, the insurance on it, and the cost to store it). Without these subsidies; they largely wouldn’t exist
Indeed. Also, “compact,” what is this, 2010?? Don’t exist anymore. You can either choose between fuckhuge trugg or fuckhuge sedan. Even our compacts are bigger than 90s four-doors (and sold as either top-spec luxury sports models or tin cans on wheels that nobody should be driving)
