I think this is USA only. Maybe mention that in the title. They don't sell half of those cars here.

We just had a laugh about this this week at work - it's just such a ridiculous size compared to European cars.

Even our cars are getting noticeably bigger. It's a stark difference if you see old refurbished cars from the 80s compared to their contemporary counterparts.

But in part that's because modern cars are so much safer.

Safer for those driving, less safe for everyone else.
