The SUV hasn't helped, but the auto manufacturers have been upsizing us for a long time. Remember the Honda Civic ? A little 1200cc 2 door hatch, now the Civic is a large 4 door with a 2 litre engine. Same with the Corolla. Utes used to be car sized, now they are huge...but dwarfed by the American pickups. Upsize - it's what the public wanted...or did they talk us into it ?
Not me of course, I've never bought a new car.
