There's also the Type-1 Inspired by Hitler. Simplicity does help, I guess...
My point was that a bike isn't better in every possible way compared to a car.
Gotta make it electricStill wastefull, it has paint on the plastic bits, Paint! Heavy pointless paint, and maybee even some stickers, heavy stickers making it look bloated and awfull and un-eco.
All that unnecessary weight will cause its feulconsumption to rise!
The polarbears, won't someone please think of the polarbears??! We can't allow people to drive around on such gasguzzling monstrosities, something must be done!

Seriously it is pretty wierd how the size of cars differ between europe and the US, I mean it's not like we have different needs?

You missed the part about "on fire." As we all know from Top Gear and from the French press themselves, the final destiny of ALL French cars is to be upside down and on fire.

So true!
Wait, no, not at all.
Larger distances alone do not require larger cars. People covering 30000km+ in Germany every year are fine with their Euro-sized cars.
But is it more expensive to run cars in Canada? (I honestly don't know). Part of the reason we use larger cars is that we can afford larger cars due to insurance, purchase costs and fuel being quite a bit lower than EU.Space doesn't really make bigger cars more necessary. Canada's got way more empty space than the US and our popular models skew smaller.
It does make bigger trucks more necessary, since they can do a lot more in a trip if you have the space to drive them.

I think you misunderstood my point. I never said that lots of space will automatically equal larger cars. I was simply pointing out to narf that size of cars is a composite of the cost (insurance/fuel/car price) and space (wider roads, more parking, etc..).Prices are higher as a rule, and gas is more expensive. I think at the end of the day people just like spending $20-25k on a car, and that's going to be your popular model, but between the two countries smaller models do well here, and they don't do as well in the US. We're also more willing to buy small people carriers - stuff like the Kia Rondo is really popular here, while they frequently don't move at all in the US, so much so that the Rondo is now a Canadian exclusive - so it's probably more complicated than that. I'm just pointing out that it has nothing to do with population density.
Lots of empty space really only affects what working vehicles are popular - it's really obvious in commercial trucks, slightly less obvious but still apparent in personal trucks.
