I saw an F150 once. The thing was a monstrosity that took a lane and a half on a suburban road.
Why is a car that big?
- extraAccount 5y agoIt makes sense in the US, where space is cheaper and bigger and you have to drive everywhere, but not anywhere else. I saw a US car with the embassy flag in the streets of Malta. The car was the size of the road, the driver was having a lot of trouble making simple turns in the "narrow" streets and gave up trying to do a 3-point turn. Probably could never find street parking for it, has to be a garage. I never saw an American-made car for American use before and I was amazed at how huge it was. You do see a local limo once in a while, but their drivers are usually more savvy as to where they can go with it.
- MisterTea 5y ago> Why is a car that big? Because it's a light truck. Useful for towing and moving material. Unfortunately used by many as a commuting vehicle.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoThey're also 15% bigger than they were 20 years ago for no apparent reason.
