CAFE and chicken tax.
Companies in the US benefit from selling larger vehicles for regulation. Americans typically want larger cars.
Want is a stretch. I sure don't.
They have few offerings in small sizes.
Americans don’t NEED to buy Tahoes, Sierras, F150s and Ram 2500s. They want them. There’s easily smaller options out there that could accomplish many of the same things like the Ford Maverick, a Chevy track, a Dodge hornet or others. They want them. It’s proven based on how they buy them up. Just because we don’t have tiny vehicles doesn’t mean we don’t have smaller cars. People just choose to buy the mega sized vehicles.
