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?

You have to remember, cars got smaller because the market demanded it. Cars started getting smaller during the oil crises of the 1970s. Smaller cars, burned less gas, and gas was expensive, so of course people wanted smaller cars … and manufacturers went and did what the people wanted.
I guess all you can say is that today, demand seems to be for larger cars. Why keep making smaller cars when it’s clear people are interested in buying larger ones?
