Wtf? I was not suggesting everyone buy "matchbox-size" cars. Neither was I suggesting that vehicles with a lot of mass and torque should be unavailable. I was just saying that the visibility in many modern pickups is atrocious and that they inflict disproportionate damage on other cars and especially pedestrians. There is no practical reason that pickups need to have flat grilles made of solid metal and very little practical reason to have the hood be so tall in the first place. You could have your 3000kg vehicles with a torque-heavy V8 without unnecessarily endangering others. ps: You might think differently after the 100th time you had to emergency brake and drive onto the grass because of a pickup that takes up 1.3 lanes going full speed around a blind corner.
