Even ignoring the sound, which is definitely louder than an outdoor speaking voice, I can feel my neighbor start his truck every day, it’s completely stock and was made ~2015. Cars are loud as hell, and most new cars sold in the US are trucks.
- amalgamated_inc 4y ago> most new cars sold in the US are trucks source?
- micromacrofoot 4y agoroughly 80% are trucks and suvs https://jalopnik.com/trucks-and-suvs-are-now-over-80-percent-of-new-car-sale-1848427797 https://jalopnik.com/trucks-and-suvs-are-now-over-80-percent... 60% suvs 20% pickups 20% cars suvs are the biggest culprit, they’ve eaten the entire car market - some manufacturers only manufacture 1 or 2 models of cars at all now some people like to hand wave crossovers away, but they’re bigger, heavier, and less efficient than most sedans that they replaced from 10 years ago

- amanaplanacanal 4y agoOver 80% are now trucks and SUVs apparently.

- micromacrofoot 4y agoYour argument is to seriously pick <1% and use that as a representation of the whole?

- dsfyu404ed 4y agoEh, this is misleading at best. Sales are dominated by crossover garbage that's less of a truck than the PT Cruiser.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoCrossovers are more of a truck than sedans were.

- dsfyu404ed 4y agoI mean, if you just ignore a bunch of they key elements of pickup truck construction (i.e. lie but with some plausible deniability) then sure. Transverse engine FWD based drivetrains, unibody construction, shared floorpans, key dimensions and platforms with sedans/wagons hatches, all the things that are characteristic of a modern crossover are very much mutually exclusive with the things that are characteristic of a truck or truck based SUV.
