you're not telling me ford/chevy/whoever can't go on a lightweight 'retro' trip in the design studio??
It's quite simple (as are Americans): egomania + cheap fuel = vehicles far larger than required. Actually I shouldn't single out Americans, as people globally have demonstrated that as soon as they have access to the same combo of large vehicles, cheap fuel, and enough disposable income to fuel up, they gravitate to the leviathans too.
