I never said it wasn't My point was people here don't think small cars are suitable for families.

Now if you look at people that have to commute, you will see a much different story. Commuters by smaller more gas efficient cars.

I often see the opposite. People who drive a lot will buy a bigger car. If I still had to commute from way outside the city I'd just get a bigger car with a 5 or 6 speed AT. Most new cars will get better fuel economy than a Yaris at highway speed.

Taxes are the downfall of civilization. Europe is about to hit the fan and dissolve, that is the only lesson anyone should take about doing anything "like europe."

Thats about the way I feel about the USA.

Taxes for vehicles are absurd as they are. There should only be one, sales tax when you buy it. The idea of a government taxing something you already own is beyond ludicrous. I honestly don't understand how the person who thought up that idea lived to enact it. Just like income tax is insane. That is one of the reasons why Lincoln should not be touted as much as he was. He did some purely evil things, and got amazingly lucky in winning the civil war.

That would be great if you only drove your car around your own property, but you don't.
