Are we gonna count 5-passenger cars that only have the front row occupied while we're at it? Not having to use your vehicle to capacity at all times is one of

  And the lower class, a 4 door 5 seater sedan is what I drove when I didn’t have that much money. If I’d had more money, I could afford a coupe. And if I had more money still, I could afford a 2 seater sports car. An under utilized vehicle may be a hallmark of the middle class, but a desirable vehicle that is only exactly what you need at that moment is a hallmark of the upper class. On top of being more expensive, it’s also far more likely to be a secondary vehicle.

  That 5 passenger car is going to use WAYYYY less gas then the mostly empty giant truck, while also being less of a risk to other drivers and not obstructing other car's view.

    Not as much as you think. 2019 f150 is rated 22/30 mpg. 2019 Honda Civic is 32/40. (Side note, a Prius will only get you to about 50) So you are going to spend 20-30% less on gas which, depending on how much you drive and gas prices, might amount to around $100/month. Then of course deduct the cost of a rental and the hassle and if you need a truck once a month, you are already about even.
