“Today I put on 75 miles driving around the South Bay. What did I see on the road? Expedition after Expedition, Suburban XLs, Escalades, Full size, quad cab pick ups of every marque and plenty of runty little Tahoes. What do these things all have in common? They are big, spacious, comfy, don’t handle all that well and get poor fuel economy. Why is it okay to drive a big truck or SUV but a horror to drive a car like that (1987 Cadillac) Brougham? Would those truck buyers drive an updated and modernized version of the Cadillac? Or ARE those Trucks an updated version of the old Cadillacs?”
