This will not change without laws. People want big cars, for ego, for convenience, for perceived safety. The US, for decades now, has laws on the books which make it more cost effective for manufacturers to make big, heavy cars. Look up the light truck exemption. If everyone drives a huge car, you begin to feel less safe in a normal sized car. This means that even people who wouldn't normally drive a truck or SUV begin gravitating towards them because they don't want to turn into pink paste when a 19 year old phone addicted driver in a Ram 3500 slams into them going 60mph on a residential road.
