    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Pamela J. Hobart

    top-down CAFE standards meant that cars were required, by the feds, to get smaller, more cramped, have less and less cargo room, etc SUVs were categorized as trucks and thus were free of regulatory meddling, so it gave consumers the leg space & storage they had ALWAYS preferredhttps://twitter.com/amelapay/status/1301245142112915457 …

    why did sport utility vehicles become so popular as daily drivers when they did?

        The crazy thing is the 80s gave us some of the most fuel-efficient vehicles ever made without any particularly advanced tech or being forced by the governement simply because the market demanded it.

        What's with the SUVs that have less space than a Corolla and handle worse due to the increased ride height?

        Yes but now those same trucks and suvs are part of CAFE too.

        Replying to @MorlockP

        For me, personally, getting my 6'6" body up and down out of a sedan got downright painful on my knees, hips, back. My CX-5's seat is pretty much at butt level, so I don't get up/down, just slide in. And it still gets pretty good mileage.

        Yup. Mom had an 18MPG minivan, I rented a 35MPG SUV to leave NYC. A *good* sedan might get 45 and doesn't come with cargo space. And since cars are expensive enough you only get one... must be most-purpose.
