The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier. (english.elpais.com)

The Lexus RX350 convinced consumers that crossovers are cool and SUVs/CUVs are great for daily driving. But, the real culprit behind the transition was the Plymouth that CAFE classed as a light truck: the PT Cruiser, the wringer that lifted the Ram's fleet fuel economy overnight

Except crossovers aren’t cool and SUVs/CUVs suck for daily driving. God I miss my 2004 Volvo wagon.

Power wagons FTW. Love my hatchbacks and my VW B6 wagon 2.0t, although the fuel economy is not as good as my wife's 2014 2.5l Mazda3 hatchback.

I had a 6 speed V70R. So much regret.
