    New car lineup be like:

    1. Small sedan, practical for most.

    2. Medium sedan. Same as the last one but a marginally bigger engine. $15k more.

    3-7: Increasingly large SUVs. Maybe some are hybrids or EVs with laughable range. Despite occupying the volume of two sedans they have less passenger space.

    8+: Road Dominators, Child Obliterators, and the all-new 2026 Canyonero. Get one gallon per mile fuel efficiency, and what they gain in tow capacity they lose in durability. But it’s fine, not a single car in this lineup will ever see a speck of dirt. Also, the truck beds are smaller than the rusted out Ford your great grandpa drove for fifty years on the racism farm.

        For years I just wanted a second gen Nissan LEAF that didn’t suck and they couldn’t do it. Same price as any other new EV except it’s a fucking 62kwh LEAF, lol no. VW id3 never came to America but I had my eye on that wishing something like it would. Eventually I just gave up waiting, my only options are performance EVs that straddle the line between small SUV, large hatchback, and a full size sedan. Fun and practical but expensive as an MFer

        They retired the line after driver complaints that they weren’t occupying enough lanes, but reintroduced them in 2026 in a new median-to-median configuration.
