So the US just starts importing the cars europe had for ages? thats hardly a frontier, it's willful ignorance of an age old issue.

"One of the last frontiers of vehicle safety" If you're going to post this sort of stuff where people can see it, maybe you could cover it with Content Warnings and Propaganda tags?

Man, I'm not all that interested in owning a truck or an SUV but there are so few Sudan's out there that fit folks like me over 6ft tall. (If anyone has suggestions please share, and no public transportation isn't an option where I live)

Iam 2m (6,5 feet) and drive a 2015 toyota auris hybrid. Seating position is good and i already drove multiple 8h journeys with it.

I'm over 6' and fit in my Camry just fine. It's also insanely reliable.

I’m 6ft as well, I drove my 2015 Mitsubishi lancer pretty comfortably and then 2018 Hyundai Sonata as well. I’m currently driving Hyundai IONIQ I think it’s a sweet spot between an SUV and a Sedan, but you can go slightly smaller than that even with cars like Kona.

I am not sponsored by Hyundai

I am over 6ft and my 2013 Kia Soul fits me easily. It's actually impressive, given how small the Kia is. Probably means the walls are ridiculously thin
