In the discussion of american sized cars vs european sized car it is not a 'chicken or egg' arguement.
Your roads were narrow way before the invention of cars thus the demand was for small cars.
Our roads were built because the cars were large.
While that may seem simplisctic it is true.
While driving a 4door 5 series peugoet in Italy, we had to pull the mirror in to navigate a street in the town my grandparents were born in.
