@stux I live in a big city, I come across a lot of tanks like that (and bigger), it's scary and tiring.

@stux might be good for a country setting but I bet in the city it's just pointless.and all that extra metal is going to be shit for fuel efficiency when you constantly have to start+stop tha giant hunk of metal.

@stux For a compensating device, it's not even good looking and has the worst possible color.

@stux sigh From svelte sprinter to a cross between a shot-putter and an Abrams tank. Somewhere in Germany there's an automotive engineer crying while writing up those design docs.

@stux What do they put inside of them? Like, there's so much room in the right car, what do they fill it with? Is it just full of empty space?

@stux The fossil fuel industry does all it can to inflate gas demand.Hyperthyroidal gas guzzlers is part of that.The oil industry has some very reliable go-to consumers. Religious bigots. Fragile men. Price gouging billionaires.

@stux is the bigger vehicle is better mindset is coming to Europe after America? Because the needlessly big SUV craze had already hit India. Sedans and hatchbacks are so low on sales and streets even!

@stux "Unnecessary engineering"more like customer demand. As long as there are idiots buying these cars, the car manufacturers will produce them. So don't only blame the manufacturers on that, which are yet partly responsible for creating them in the first place.It started with the SUV hype. Never understood, why you'd need a SPORTS UTILITY vehicle in a city. Not that there's a lot of hills, woods and rough terrain you'd have to drive through, besides the total ugliness of these models.

@stux I’m reminded of the Ford Edsel which wouldn’t fit in most suburban garages of the time.

@stux Is that an X7? Those things are insanely huge. And drives like a house that transforms into an unreasonably large race car. Fun to drive but too large for any practical use at all outside of use as a getaway car.

@stux BMW is going for the infantile market with enough ketchy bling to reveal it's design origin as a crayon sketch on a child's placemat.

@stux Tax is based on car weight in the Netherlands. Might be good to add size to that. Like occupied space and amount of empty interior. Of the car, not the driver.
