New car lineup be like:

1. Small sedan, practical for most.

2. Medium sedan. Same as the last one but a marginally bigger engine. $15k more.

3-7: Increasingly large SUVs. Maybe some are hybrids or EVs with laughable range. Despite occupying the volume of two sedans they have less passenger space.

8+: Road Dominators, Child Obliterators, and the all-new 2026 Canyonero. Get one gallon per mile fuel efficiency, and what they gain in tow capacity they lose in durability. But it's fine, not a single car in this lineup will ever see a speck of dirt. Also, the truck beds are smaller than the rusted out Ford your great grandpa drove for fifty years on the racism farm.

I just bought a manual 1992 Chevy S10 Tahoe for my wife and the thing is completely unlike modern trucks, I mean it's basically only a size up from a kei truck. They can make it so small and affordable because it lacks basic safety features like airbags. With modern trucks they force an entire extra vehicles worth of technology and safety features, practically doubles the size of the car

But how I wish they would sell modern trucks with the same form factor as the '92 S10, car is beautiful
