        No. The middle and even upper lower classes are buying this shit in droves. https://www.motor1.com/news/685999/suv-sales-milestone-europe-h1-2023/

        I’m the US it tends further away from smaller CUVs and into bigger mid size SUVs.

          Maybe go look up different class systems and their naming conventions.

    They’re not all huge, an XC40 is a 1.5 little hybrid. Can people not have a preference for style?

    Taking extra space is annoying though.

      Also nobody needs a 1,600 kg vehicle for personal transportation, that’s selfish.

      XC40 is a monstrous car. Looks twice the size of mine.

      But this is fuck cars, so fuck them all I guess.
