   I don't want an SUV or pickup, though. I live in a city. I want a small hatchback.

     Oh, I am pretty aware of how car dependent the US is, and that what I'm saying would be a huge shift in urbanism in most of the cities there, I'm just saying that it's possible, and it does make cities nicer to live in.

     @ainmosni @tess @alienghic @mekkaokereke I am guessing that not only have you never been to Detroit, you have never looked at Detroit on a map.

     yeah that they went for those vehicles is telling, we should be trying to get rid of that class of vehicle as they are not even useful for what they are advertised.

     That said, I'd go even further and say that unless there's a good reason, personal vehicles should just not be in cities. Have big parking facilities at transit hubs on the edge where people can leave their car and hop in transit.
