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?

People want bigger cars and the higher gas prices are not the deal breaker they once were. Before the 70s cars were very big, but then gas prices got high and we opted for smaller cars. We’re not to the point of going smaller, and maybe never will again. We like our cars and spend a lot of time in them these days.
