They may become popular though. There is a large subset of the population across the world who uncritically consumes American media and seeks to blindly replicate what’s fashionable here.

I like to think that people here have sense enough to see those things don't really fit on our roads. But you might be right. People seem to love fat bikes so why not fat cars.

They don’t really fit on a lot of US roads either but people still drive them here. Almost every day they have to haul one out of the way of the light rail in my city because it sticks out too far.

We have the same problem with our cars. They grew significantly too.
