    I thought I read somewhere these things will start getting cameras on the grill to prevent them from killing children. Instead of making them smaller.

    Trucks and SUVs are somehow excluded from pedestrian safety rules, or rules that would prevent them from destroying a small car in a head-on collision. Same with fuel economy standards. Sigh.

      Are you questioning the right of American males to definitely not overcompensate by wheeling around in baby APCs?

      I mean with the way fleet fuel economy regulations are companies have to either make electric card or trucks, and we all know what hogs will want

      NHTSA changed their side collision test to include the same impact as a modern pickup truck and a lot lf vehicles scored very poorly.
