      At least the European car market still has regular cars. Turns out that if it’s cheaper and easier to build and sell trucks, car manufacturers will make only trucks. So too many Americans buy trucks and SUV’s, not because they want to, but because that’s the only thing they can buy.

        That is…insanely inaccurate lol. “I wanted to buy a car but I could only find trucks for sale” is not a thing in this country whatosever.
