I fully agree, and I love my VW Up! very much. I don’t know that I’d drive it anywhere in the US though, maybe downtown in a few of the major cities, but looking at the death toll on US roads, I’d feel compelled to choose something that offers better odds of surviving when being rammed by a goddamn train.
My Audi is a small punchy A3 with a turbo. First off people driving here in Los Angeles are so distracted with their phones, and when they’re in these large vehicles it’s easy to navigate around them and actually get places quickly.
I really can’t understand why just about everyone here drives those huge cars: they’re slow, they consume a lot of gas (if non-EV) and rarely do you see them actually hauling anything. In fact the real people that need them (landscapers, etc.) are usually driving smaller trucks.
I mean, the top 3 selling cars in the US were the F-150, the Silverado and RAM Pickup. By comparison the ID.4 is small, and anything smaller is a toy…
People still stuck in this mindset.

Fat people like fat cars.
I’m so glad that we got smaller cars in Europe. And I’m still sad that they cancelled the Mobilize Duo. :(
