      Not much chance

      President Trump is set to announce a rollback of fuel economy standards that were tightened under the Biden administration, aiming to reduce vehicle costs and increase consumer choice.

        I’m certain China will thank him. They will continue to improve EVs while the United States goes back a few decades. 🙄

            Yeah, and even with all that, those megacars are still bad and too energyslurping.

            I prefer that they be converted to scrap. Keyed, wheels locked, anything.

    Hard to imagine Europeans will buy these tanks at $7.50 a gallon for gas, narrow roads and very tight parking spaces, even for subcompacts.

      In Switzerland there are already too many of them… it’s super annyoing on the safety deparment (light way too high up, limited field of view etc) + there is no space for them. Our roads where not made for these monsters.

    All those big, hated parking companies should really lobby against this. They’ll have to rebuild most of the parking houses and repaint/mark all the parking lots to make room for these monstrosities. That would cost them quite a lot and result in fewer spaces. 🫣

      No they wont. They can just fine them for parking over the edge of the marked parking space. Just need to add a disclaimer that if your car doesn’t fit, tough shit.
