Americans don't want small cars, and honestly, I don't think its a problem.
They are tricked into wanting big vehicles.
No need for a trick. Bigger vehicles feel better to drive. And space isn't much of a concern in America.
Makes sense for overweight drunk Americans. Bigger vehicles accelerate slower, aren't nearly as nimble, consume more fuel($$$), don't stop as well, destroy roads faster, consume more wear parts. Overall a net loss.
Granted they fit fat people better
