I've seen more Large US Car/Pickups (think old full size van/suburban/pickup) in the Netherlands than anywhere else in Europe (with the exception of right outside of a US military facility).

- nerdbert 3y agoHow much time have you spent here? That doesn't jibe with what I see at all. There are so many more giant truckish cars in France, Germany, and the UK than I see here in the Netherlands. I'm looking out my front window now and I see about 20 cars of which one is in the SUV form factor.
- CalRobert 3y agoMaybe it depends on where you are? I found the prevalence of Dodge Rams in the Netherlands jarring. They're incredibly poorly suited to the towns and cities there.
- wiredfool 3y agoIt's not that they're common, but at the fringe of the distribution the large "full size" US v8 powered things (Ram, Suburban, Full sized 80's Van, _not_ large EU style SUVs like the Volvo, X5, Range Rover, etc) were noticeably more common in NL than elsewhere.
