Volkswagen sells small cars like the ID.3 in Europe but not in the US, cuz we like it big SUVs here, sucks
Seriously, I’m appalled that Ford has fully stopped selling sedans and hatchback in the US for several years at this point. You can get a small crossover SUV, and the other small car they still sell is the Mustang.
I really, really hate SUVs.
They even stopped selling their ICE Transit Connect in the US while almost simultaneously introducing an EV in Europe with no plans to sell it in the US.
Remember the Ford Focus EV? When are they bringing THAT back? That would be a pretty fucking sweet replacement for my Mazda 3.
They’re not. They’ve stopped selling all non-SUVs (save for the Mustang) in the US market.
I know. I wish they did though.
what do you hate about SUVs?
Too big, inefficient, handle worse than a car, more expensive... Take your pick.
All of the above.
Kills pedestrians far more easily...
From someone who enjoys going for a drive, they drive like complete shit compared to a normal sized car.
Yeah, but at 2/3 overweight or obese by population, the average American is too fat for small hatchbacks. Enormous, child smashing pickups @ 12mpg are just A-OK tho.
