Again - this is not US. I really wish you stopped making shit up.
I realize the pic is not US. large vehicles in European countries are really quite stupid. I'm surprised they're legal.
There really aren't large vehicles - in american sense - in Europe. We've got x7, gls, older gl, maybe a few more; but they're nothing against escalades, navigators and whatever lorries ford has on offer.
Right, no kidding.
I see ford excursions on the daily. Usually driven by 1 40 ish year old mom. 30 ft vehicle, probs about 7k lbs.
We need to limit these people from owning these dangers to society.
The issue is, car makers killed the wagon. Literally the best "american" family road trip type vehicle, and you literally cannot buy one.
If subaru brought back the wagon wrx right now I'd buy it. But they won't. Also it would be loaded with spyware and bullshit tech no one wants so yeah. I'll be fixing up old cars until i die because all new cars are basically corpo shit. I just want a fucking manual 99 civic thats brand new. I'll pay full cash, carmakers.
Only really addressing your last sentence.
For that kind of money - you can literally build one yourself using and old chassis. Might even end up cheaper. I'm a BMW guy myself, so I have realoem.com to help me, but Subaru has a massive following as well - I'm sure there's some sort of equivalent.
