    why the fuck do so many people buy these

    If a sedan is not good for you (or you don’t like them) there is basically no choice left… hatchbacks are going extinct in North America

        with Toyota’s line up today, that would be the bZ Woodland which is the biggest of the bZ lineup

        all cars are just growing in North America

        9 years ago, I wanted the C-HR but my daughter was too small and could not reach her window in the back seat… today, the C-HR is bigger than the Rav4 back then and the Rav4 today is as big as the Highlander back then

        An SUV is essentially a shitty mini van that gets worse fuel efficiency and has less room, but can sort of go off road better, even though 95% of people who get an SUV will never go off road.

        Also, like half of what companies call SUVs now are actually just station wagons.

          *shitty station wagons with worse fuel efficiency, often can’t actually go off-road better, and worse crash safety metrics for all involved because they roll easier and are way heavier
