No surprises there. They're more difficult to drive and have bigger blind spots. Yet, Americans love them even when they don't need the added space.
Literally the only thing I want from modern vehicles is blind spot cameras. And you could argue that's not particularly modern since they've been available for over a decade.
Otherwise, today's new vehicles are privacy dystopias and it's becoming quite difficult to find a decent sedan for a midrange price. I have no interest in light trucks or SUVs.
In short, we'll be sticking with my ICE 2012 Toyota Avalon and 2015 BMW until they stop running. I would like to buy an EV to pair with our solar panels and insulate myself from the whims of the bitch baby in the White House.
But I think I basically can't do that without giving up my privacy.
Everything sucks.
