Why should I know ?

With thankfully few exceptions, we still don't want to buy oversized American cars or trucks in Europe.
Part of that is due to taxation on engine size and fuel, but even people who can afford it, will rarely buy US cars.
A notable exception was the Chrysler Voyager, but their market share was wiped out in favour of smaller MPVs.

I've once spent 15 minutes trying to get a Grand Voyager out of a Euro-sized parking spot in a Euro-sized parking lot in the UK without dinging the cars around it. Not really my idea of fun.

I've yet to see any statistic from you or anyone else that proves one needs a big car to survive deer or other big game (i.e. moose) collisions.
You accepted that theory gladly ...
