I’m not just talking about pickup trucks that have gotten huge, but rather cars in general. Take a look at the 5th generation Honda Civic hatchback and compare it to the newest Honda Civic Hatchback model. Not only did the car gain approximately 1,000lbs/453Kg, but its length, height, and space drastically changed. Sure it’s a 30 year difference but even other car models from the early 2010s compared to their same models today are way bigger and heavier in just under a decade Why is this?

Economy class cars of 10 and more years ago were really too small. A Corolla from that time is only comfortable for people 5’6″ and shorter. It doesn’t make sense to make a car so limiting for buyers, and if someone else makes a better sized economy class car, they will snap up the market.
Today’s economy class cars are about where they should be – big enough for the majority of single drivers.
