I usually ride my bike, but my daily driver was a Honda Fit before I started getting back into cycling and ebikes. Good little car, I kinda miss it.

[–] estoypoopin@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

That's me right now. I walk/bike when I have to go in to work, and have a Fit for when I need a vehicle otherwise. I wish I could go smaller, but I don't want to buy a new car until I need to.

There still exist cars in 2023. It's not just SUV's available on the lot.

People just want them, because of grocery trips or a kid in school sports or whatever.

Whether most of them actually need that SUV space is something up for debate, but it's gonna be hard to convince the average American (already in love with full SUV's) to just switch away.

I don’t need the space but I’m beginning to think I need an suv due to the ridiculous visibility problems they cause and constantly being blinded at night.

You haven't looked at a Ford dealer lately, have you? They literally don't make cars anymore, except for the Mustang (and even then they'd probably rather sell you a "Mustang Mach-E," which is an SUV).

Industry analysts are praising Ford's decision and other automakers are following in its footsteps.

As someone that just traded in my Sierra 1500 for a Sienna Minivan, I don't understand why minivans get so much hate. My van is an excellent people mover, can carry a lot of shit, and gets 36MPG. The Tahoe I was looking at doesn't hold a candle to my van, and uses a lot of expensive gas to boot.

Towing. The tahoe could tow way more than the van. They have different purposes.

Vans are awesome!! So are trucks, de0ends on your needs
