Re: OT: Why are cars getting bigger?

Suburbans are probably about the same size, somewhat heavier but much more fuel efficient. But they’re outside the norm. Chevy Equinox, a compact vehicle with quite a bit of interior space, is far and away GM’s best selling SUV. Paul > On Sep 29, 2020, at 5:45 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > >  >

A load of crap from a know-nothing. The old Ranger was a compact truck. The new one is a midsize. And cars have disappeared. But SUVs have become more compact. Paul > On Sep 29, 2020, at 5:06 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > >
