Look, I understand the underlying desire for a more compact, fuel-efficient automobile. I really do. In congested areas, especially when people have long commutes to work, both cost and space are factors in making smart transportation decisions.

But I'm kind of sick of the kowtowing towards one hyped-up demographic. I have never had an automobile I've fit in. I am very uncomfortable on long road trips. Try as I might to keep my back straight by sitting with good posture, my legs are always cramped, and I have to duck down to see traffic lights out of the windshield. Why does it have to be this way? I wouldn't mind paying extra for a large truck that is TRULY a large truck; something I could comfortably fit in, and, you know, maybe enjoy driving. Instead, the world and everything in it keeps getting smaller and smaller.

Drives me nuts.
