The unwritten rule....all US cars must have a minimum of 100 hp or forget it. Also, a lot of Americans demand the biggest and baddest for "safety" sake. The bigger the vehicle, the safer they feel in the event of an accident. Eco cars just have no chance with that attitude.
My co-workers think I'm nuts I drive a Metro for a commuter. Yes, I might die in a head-on if both vehicles are traveling 75 mph. It would be a little worse than hitting a concrete wall at 150 mph, as I would be pushed instantly backwards. I also might die by eating a cherry.
