people like bigger cars for many other reasons.

they are more comfortable. they are safer, they fit more stuff. they have more features than smaller cars. they are often quieter.

and if you have a family you need a larger vehicle to fit kids and pets.

    that's true, but from what i've seen these gigantic cars really don't offer that much more space; if space/capacity was really a concern family buses/vans whatever would be much more popular. where i live most people i see on SUVs are alone on their car, bigger families just get a Citroen Berlingo <3

    but yeah people do like big cars
