Good news everyone! Side note I was in Paris a few weeks ago, it's almost a shock how much smaller the cars are in Europe compared to the USA. I saw a total of 1 pickup truck and almost no SUVs.
I think it has something to do with those legendary roads that lead back to
homeRome.Most sold cars in France are SUV and have been for a few years but they are European style SUV. Paris is full of them. For many of us, the very popular Nissan Quashcai or Peugeot 5008 are huge, oversized and not space-efficient cars but once I had an American tell me our style of SUVs were too small to fit her and her only child. So she drove some American SUV monstruosity.
