because the models that used to be the ugly small cars, like the civic, are now too big and expensive. Thus their makers have replaced them with true ugly small cars again.

they're supposed to be cheap. Like the Daewoo-produced Chevy Aveo.

The market in the US looks like it's "ripe" to take on all these little crossover things like the honda fit and the toyota yaris (dodge caliber, ford edge, pontiac torrent, and the rest).

Some of them are as cheap as shit, and for their size I think most of them get decent mileage.

blame the europeans. their eco-consciousness is starting to infiltrate the u.s. you can also blame the celebrities and tree-huggers for making it seem that this is what america wants. for the most part, americans will pick from what's available, and many of them pick wrongly.

That whole argument about folks buying big cars/SUV's/trucks for safety holds true because...well, because there are so many big cars/SUV's/trucks on the road.

If everybody drove small cars then one wouldn't have to worry about the consequences of hitting the immovable mass known as the SUV. And I'd be willing to bet that an overwhelming number of accidents involve two or more vehicles colliding, usually because of driver error (namely, not paying fucking attention to what he or she is doing as they are sitting there in their mobile living room chatting on the phone or eating or doing their nails) or because somebody was intoxicated.

Both these groups of people in this video need to learn. Bitches on cell phones get off the road and idiot douchebags, like the guy holding the camera, try to make a complete sentence without using bitch, hoe, or fucker.

and that's usually the SUV driver... guess that's what the perceived safety of driving a tank gets you..

"35% of accidents are caused by pixilated.. the other 65% are non alcohol related.. what does this tell us about drunk drivers, they seem to have a better record than the sober team"
