- p1mrx 8y agoThis is a "limousine" in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limousine#/media/File:98-02_Lincoln_Town_Car_limousine.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limousine#/media/File:98-02_Li... So I assume you were using the "sedan" interpretation.
- teekert 8y agoIndeed but it's funny that most SUVs are (what I'd call) fake SUVs. They look beefy and big but they have a 1.6 liter engine and can still only pull 1200-1400 kg (like the Hyundai ix35). And then there are the real ones that may at first glance look the same but easily pull up to or over 2400 kg (Volvo xc90 versions).
- dsfyu404ed 8y ago>and big but they have a 1.6 liter engine and can still only pull 1200-1400 kg This is a reflection of the vehicle platforms they're built on. You take a Civic or a Dart slap on AWD, a lift kit and extra 500-1000lb of body/interior and call it a CRV or a Cherokee and there's not much spare capacity left to haul cargo or tow trailers.
- teekert 8y agoMostly they don't even slap on AWD :)
- KozmoNau7 8y agoThere are plenty of pickups in Europe. It's just that they're based on vans, with a tray on the back instead of a box. And very few people are silly enough to buy one as their personal vehicle. If we need to move mulch or the like, we rent/buy trailers.
