How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs. (www.caranddriver.com)

And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

I just traded my 7 year old corolla for a suv (mainly because of awd for winter driving) This much larger vehicle has better fuel economy than that little car.

    We should make a distinction between full sized SUVs and small to medium that are more like tall cars

    I upgraded from an older Civic to a Subaru Forester and improved my gas mileage! I also got all wheel drive, lots of modern technology and a vehicle more suited for poorly maintained roads. Most importantly, as a larger guy with bad knees, it’s a world of difference in head and leg room. As a guy with two teenagers, it’s an actual four-seater car. I never want to go back to cars where I need to contort myself to get in and out, and worry about how uncomfortably cramped the back seat is for my passengers …. Tesla, I’m talking to you too.

    So, I also upgraded to a larger vehicle, but I’m hoping this article focuses more on excessively large vehicles
