This is what happens when one country expects the rest of the world to adjust their products to cater specifically to them. You have to be a superpower to do that, which Britain hasn't been for over 200 years now. You can either build your own cars or widen your roads. Our cars being too big for your roads isn't our problem. It's yours.
The increased size of trucks has nothing to do with consumer demand and has everything to do with increased EPA standards completely fucking over everyone and anyone trying to purchase a vehicle nowadays.
I yearn for the days of big V8s in coupes and sedans. Dodge were the only ones doing it, and now they switched to electric because of the EPAs horseshit.
Back before my Charger died because of electrical problems (thanks MoPar you pieces of shit) that thing barely had to work to do daily commute shit. It was awesome, now my I4 has to constantly sit at 7k RPM just to get me down the road. Fuck, Ford puts turbo'd I3's in their shitboxes just to get the power necessary to have any performance whatsoever.
Besides putting turbos in shitboxes, you have car manufacturers adding shit like engine start-stop or cylinder deactivation just to min/max their company-wide average MPG, all of which destroys the engine with extra mechanical wear.
lol

The EPA is retarded.
