- dcormier 4y agoMost cars in the US are bigger than most cars you'd find in most of the world.
- epgui 4y agoExactly, and this is related to the question "What is it with the trend for huge cars?", as this trend has largely been an American one.
- dchest 4y agoIt's only 5 cm wider and longer than a Honda Civic. It's higher, of course, since it's a "compact crossover", but not as high as Suzuki Jimny, for example.
- epgui 4y agoI mean, in this context I don't think when the word "big" was used it was referring to the surface area from a bird's eye view. There's many different ways you could think of something as being "big", but in this context I believe either volume, mass or even drag coefficient is what is most relevant to the thread.
