i agree with you what you say. 99% of americans think bigger is better.
however, that is not the case. structure of a car, as well as materials used play more of a roll in saftey than size. a big rigid car–ala 60’s technology-- will pass more shock on to the driver. newer cars-- especially small cars-- are designed to crumple/fail away form the cabin and take the orce of the accident.
i agree that there is still a need for big cars. however, i dont think the need for that market is there. majority of people get a big car simply b/c bigger is better theory. we see how that works w/ mcdonalds and end result of being a fat ass… bigger is not always better.
