- sowbug 6mo agoGood point. The missing statistic in this thread is the number of injuries, which you'd expect would help tease apart big cars (mass) from phones (attention).
- pandaman 6mo agoSUVs and pickups did not win anything in 2010, F-series trucks had been number one best seller through the entire 21st century, and the top 10 selling cars were half and half Camry/Civic/Accord and trucks and SUVs.
- khuey 6mo agoSeven out of the top ten best selling vehicles in 2010 were sedans (https://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/top-10/top-10-best-selling-vehicles-for-2010.html https://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/top-10/top-10-best-selli...) In 2025 only one out of the top ten is a sedan (https://www.edmunds.com/most-popular-cars/ https://www.edmunds.com/most-popular-cars/).
- pandaman 6mo ago>Seven out of the top ten best selling vehicles in 2010 were sedans I only see six sedans in your link. But regardless if you count CR-V or Fusion as a sedan, you are arguing for me. 2010 being a recession year is prominent for drop of trucks and SUVs in sales, not "near-total victory of SUVs and pickup trucks". >In 2025 And how does this align with increase of pedestrian deaths from 2010 to 2023?
