        Sure. But where’s the option of a sedan where I can detach 75% of it when I just need to drive someplace alone? Where’s the electric car with 300 miles range under 30k?

        You can hate on trucks all day long, and I do too because trucks suck, but we’re still stuck with horrible polluting expensive options that were designed with efficiency of cash flow as their primary goal.

                  I dont have a benefit of the doubt big enough to give to people for driving these big ass SUV’s. they aint aliens living on another planet from the other countries of the world with citizens that do fine without SUV’s, they can manage.

                    You either lack the creativity to come up with scenarios, or the empathy to understand people have different struggles than you.

                    Imagine you’re a mom with five young kids living 20 miles from the nearest store. That’s a real use case in America. How would you handle that without a vehicle that can seat 6 and carry their groceries as well? What’s your answer besides an SUV?

                  that gross overkill, the tons of steel and dozens of gallons of gasoline you’re spewing co2 to lug around every single day to travel 20 miles is where our emissions come from. Because once every several months you might want to travel somewhere further and you dont want to have to wait around a half hour to charge

                    Wrong again… 10 years worth of pollution due to your scenario, doesn’t add up to a single Kardashian short jetting to avoid traffic

        More like the Toyota 86 is a rebranded BRZ. The platform of both cars are made by Subaru, using the Subaru boxer engine, in a Subaru factory.

        Crosstrek is pretty awesome though. It’s basically just an off-road lifted Impreza. I mountain bike and climb a bunch and some times get onto some pretty questionable roads. It’s great to have something that handles that, but also feels more or less like a smallish 2.0l hatchback the rest of the time.

        They are definitely getting bigger though this last year, and sad none of them are manual anymore. Luckily got the last model year that was
