I'm from the UK and don't understand the desire for massive cars, absolutely nothing seems designed for vehicles this wide. Does it not just make life a whole lot harder? In London we still have streets and river crossings that were built for horse drawn carriages, but every other car is a giant. Almost no parking seems suitable either. The Ford Ranger is the most comically out of place, love the colours and looks but the fact you could fit in a few sheets of 8x4 plywood whilst doing the school run can't possibly be applicable to many.
