    This whole vehicular size arms race needs to go away please.

    It’s so retarded that people think they need to get bigger cars to “protect” themselves in accidents. Just feedback looping stupidity.

      But how will the other people know I have money if my car isn’t huge?

      The protection argument has some merit, though. I remember seeing several studies that show survival rates are bigger for the SUV inhabitants in crashes. What SUV drivers don’t know (or simply don’t care about) is that it’s survival in the detriment of smaller cars inhabitants.
