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?

There’s a lot of reasons but I tend to think one of them is the world is scary and we really have very little control and for someone feeling particularly fragile a large truck or SUV announces them as someone to be taken seriously, to be seen, to be contended with. It’s like magnum condoms. Sometimes it feels good to pretend to be a big fella.
