l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.
So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.
How do american consumers keep trucks like this out?
I mean by not buying the imports, but at the same time it’s hard to ignore the impact of not having them visible/available for purchase, decades of cultural engineering related to the auto industry here, etc.
Not sure they belong on this list next to entities that actively craft market conditions to benefit american auto makers (and themselves) financially.
