Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

    Ah yes, activities famously absent in the rest of the world where people drive normal sized vehicles.

    “I like having a huge monster of a vehicle and this outweighs the negative impact of my choices for me” is a perfectly fine thing to say instead of scrambling to come up with weird reasons one might want to own a giant car.

      I never said I liked it. I don’t even own one. But there are needs for a truck. If you work in construction or even have a new house. Or your hobbies include going outdoors to camp or fish.

      The only options where a truck is needed is this giant behemoth or you buy used. And the used ones are almost as big.

      I agree that this is bad for the environment. I was curious to the mechanics of Europe because through the conversation it seems they have a different slant. Which with all these answers, they do.
