Europe is the opposite way and a Corolla would be a family car.

^^^^^ I agree

The amount of car people think they need is slightly absurd. People who have kid and think they need a minivan or suv when they really just need less stuff.

I agree, but I think people being able to freely buy and use them without any nanny state interference is the most important issue. People creating more of a carbon footprint than necessary for the mobility they take part in is, IMO, bad and people should (on a personal level) feel guilty about creating that outsized footprint. However, government shouldn't be part of that use of 'oversized/inefficient' vehicles equation.
