Don't mention TheSamba.com or I'm liable to go buy another air cooled VW!
Cars do seem to have become boring appliances. Their main selling point anymore is the size of their infotainment screen. Most people buy CUVs and they buy them grey with the occasional extremist that buys a black or white CUV. (I think they do it just to make other's think they could be a police officer.)
I've noticed that the forum seems to have been getting a lot of questions about how to make one ton trucks and SUV's more efficient. Fuel efficiency seems to be the last thing on people's mind.
Now, because of COVID, US used car prices are up 30% (and rising!).
People think car efficiency is good enough. Why try to get 50mpg when you can get 40mpg in a CUV?
