One thing that isn't often mentioned is the diversity of the US landscape. For those who go hiking or even straying off the common road, having high ride height is desirable, which suits large SUVs perfectly.
- prmoustache 2y agoPoor excuse. Similar challenges and diversity exist in many countries. Also, only a fraction of the population have that use case, that doesn't account for 80% of the market. Mountains and dirt fireroads/doubletracks exist in every countries. You know which car was the most popular for years until the end of its production in Spain by farmers and people living at the very end of dirt roads in spanish mountains? The citroen C15! I let you google for an image. It was so light that even with only front wheel drive it was much more capable off the road than most SUV.
- FireBeyond 2y agoI would estimate that the percentage of the US population who goes off road even once in their truck or SUV is in the single digits at most (by which I mean anything more serious than parking in a grass field at the County Fair).
