I know it's a sensitive topic, but I'd also like to bring up the obesity rate in America. A growing portion of the American populace cannot comfortably fit in many of the cars that were popular 20+ years ago. I know that sounds like I'm joking, but I'm being genuine.

I’m 6’2 but not fat and still have trouble fitting into old cars. My homie has a RX7 I gotta break my back to get into it. It’s a work out getting in and out. It’s so low to the ground like shit is so annoying. So when we chill I usually drive (2014 Acura TL SH)!
my guess for 'wider lanes increasing crashes' is that having everyone further apart makes them feel like there's more room for error so people drive less cautiously.
That's partly it but there's another thing we haven't taken into account: wider lanes means less lanes on the road itself. This makes it harder for slower drivers to move so faster drivers can pass them since everyone has less lanes to work with. Plus, the global population's median age has increased over time and we all know the issues older drivers cause on the road. This had lead to greater speed disparities on the road and has caused more accidents and traffic jams as a result since faster/busier drivers get a lot more pissed off and reckless. A two lane road shouldn't be a hassle to travel on but it becomes one when a 65-75 year old grandma going 5-10 mph (8-16 km/h) under the speed limit is at the front of a line slowing everyone else down behind them. The angrier the drivers behind them get, the more likely they will do something drastic to get around them and that will increase the risk of accidents if that driver isn't calculated enough to make such a maneuver safely.
That's part of it but additionally the smaller the lane the faster your brain thinks you're going. So on a smaller road you will subconsciously drive slower than on a bigger road because it seems to you that you're going much faster than you actually are.

When I was working as a carpenter, I looked into getting a truck and my main problem with all of them was the height. You get a truck to haul your tools, all these trucks were too tall for me to grab a tool from the bed without hopping up into it. I had no need for a massive hunk of metal just to bring my ~200 lbs of tools to a site. Heck, put in a lumber rack and I could probably be better off with a short bed and extended cab. When Telsa unveiled the CYBERTRUCK I was actually bummed. A UA-camr had converted her Model 3 into a truck by replacing the back seats with a bed and mounting a lumber rack. That was WAY more of a truck for me than an armored behemoth made for the end of the world.
even as someone who often has to work on trucks theyre so needlessly big, the engine bay is almost entirely empty space, the beds arent much bigger and the interiors feel like livingrooms, its ridiculous, when people were hauling the exact same shit in the back of their trucks that were half the size 30 years ago

Thank you for asking for a small truck! I've been pounding the table for years about this. If you live in the city but still need (or want) a truck, there's not much out there. Most undergrounds can't fit trucks these days. Even Tacoma's are too big for many of them in any practical way. Put and Ranger in the dryer and lemme at it! There's absolutely a major market out there for a badass truck that happens to be small.
I really like compact cars, they've very popular here in Europe because you can park them virtually anywhere and generally they get better mileage. Skoda Fabia's are extremely safe cars that are cheap, compact and reliable. I also suspect its part of the reason that pickup trucks aren't popular, you can do more with a van thats smaller than a pickup truck.
Much of Europe is constrained by the fact that cities and roads are designed and roads which were intended for horse-drawn carriages. Unless you’re going to nuke London & Paris & redesign them from scratch big cars will always struggle there…

Exactly what I wanted to say, cars before WW2 were huge, they only got smaller after the war. (Speaking about European cars, I know US cars were boats in the 60's.)
Same with everything. Technology gets developed and more and more gets packed in to make the product better. Then we find a way to make that technology more compact and efficient so that same product gets smaller. Then consumers get greedy so they want bigger things so that product gets bigger again. Mobile phones is a good example of that.
dude,you right donut media is big, from Little channel to biggest UA-cam Channel Talks about automotive,dang i was realize donut grown so fast than i though

I mean, in those you could sometimes fit 6 adults in one bench seat. Many modern cars are pretty big, but the way they are inside sometimes makes sitting in a small SUV worse than in a backseat of a muscle car.
I spotted a Lincoln Continental at a parking lot in a tiny European town. I had to stop and stare at how outrageously vast it was. It had a larger footprint than the big work-van parked next to it, while just having 2 doors. It's as though the designers went out of their way to make the body as long and wide as possible. I call it the Lincoln Continent.

@@headers12 You mean up over 8.2 lIters , and Horsepower under 300, while Torque is there. Plus under the hood is simple to operate on the engine, unlike with the current vehicles.
GM could have done so much better with the Fierro.

I witnessed a dude struggling to fit a 6-ft ladder in his RAV-4. Meanwhile I was loading 8 planks of 8-ft long, foot-wide PVC boards into my Mazda 3 SEDAN and able to close the trunk lid. Larger isn’t more utilitarian when you failed high school geometry class.
11:20 - The SUVs people buy with base engines like 2.5L turbo 4 cylinders need to be revved out a lot more to get into the power that's needed to make big vehicles move. And that just means the engine falls apart sooner because it is overstressed. It won't actually save money in the long run and will lead to more waste because vehicles will fail sooner. No replacement for displacement still rings true. Throwing on a turbo just means your choosing to amplify a certain part of the engine's power curve. Which means sacrificing peak horsepower for more low-end grunt or vice versa. Even with variable turbo technology you are stressing the engine out quite significantly for what usually ends up being very little fuel savings in larger vehicles.
Yep. Like I said in the other posts. If Vehicle Manufactures , are concerned about Fuel Economy and Performance. They can always make V8 Smaller Block Engines of 4.0 Liters to 3.8 Liters. Turbochargers and Superchargers can be options . While V8 Engines of Big Blocks and Small Blocks of 7.5 Liters and 5.0 Liters can be options also. They got the technology to make the engines also Straight Forward when it comes to not having complications and be Fuel Efficient.
No disadvantage for diesel (cold exhaust =no turbo wear,no knock=no limits on boost pressure, quality control=no lag, better engine housing to withstand diesel cycle no engine wear due to increased pressure). And for SI 5 years back it was ok as long as 1L=100hp. Now with Atkinson cycle and electrically supported turbos maybe a nice super-cap combo lag is manageable and increased torque can be traded for better economic at lower loads. So do not worry to much. While both waste-gate and variable turbo work best at one operating point as you point out, hybridization can completely make up for that. plus they can still operate over a wider band of rpm and at least support the engine a little. The torque curve should be designed for the task so that you do not need to rev to 4000rpm to get the turbo going. And i mean you could always either get power or eco and a modern turbo lets you decide with a kiss to the throttle. The times of turbos needing additional cooling by flooding them with fuel are over.
@Saint Fifty One for gasoline, yes. For diesel, no. Appart from the price neiter the added complexity nor the maintenance is enourmous. I mean in the Rally Dakar some manufacturers went from 4WD to 2WD because it is less maintenance, but they kept turbos. If you need a transporter for the cheapest price and low end torque, sure go for the 3L NA version, but in all other cases...
Depends large SUVs like Expedition, Tahoe 100% need that bigger engine. Min V6 Turbo putting in a 4 banger is such a large vehicle is dumb and no efficient. Smaller SUVs like the CRV and Ford escape can get away with a smaller Turbo 4 cylinder, biggest issue is maintenance. People never maintain their oil and its always been an issue. Now with Turbo engines becoming more popular those engines need regular oil changes because they will always burn a little oil and run hot.
@@Crazycro905 both honda and ford tried making 1.5l turbo engines fort the CRV and Escape. Fords engine was an overheating lemon, and Hondas engine didn't like head gaskets very much and was constantly diluting oil. The compact SUV segment is just stupid from the get go. People are paying more for a car that sits slightly higher on the road. 99% of buyers would be more than fine with a full sized sedan or wagon. And if people are always in need of the little extra space, they could probably use the larger engine as well.
"Are Cars Going To Keep Getting Bigger?" Yes. Next question. Actually interesting to lately see a couple very small trucks on the road that look like the ones I see in pictures and videos of Asian streets. Seem like the only place I've seen them before in the US is on golf courses. Kinda like little Cushman trucks, although maybe a bit bigger and I assume street legal.
I was waiting for someone to make a video about this, I thought was alone realizing how cars are getting bigger. Take Honda for example, the old Accord is almost the same size as the new Civic. Toyota's new Yaris is almost the same size as the old Corollas.
Great video! Based take on the growing size of vehicles. One point though, safety, for those inside the car* while making the car more dangerous for those outside the car by increasing the cars kinetic energy. There's also a phenomenon where the safer a driver feels in their car, the more recklessly they drive.
I was thinking when he said that, that the only reason they got faster is for manufacturers to brag about it. In day to day life size is more important (at least in Europe) because many of those bigger cars are the worst when it comes to finding a place to park somewhere. They literally can't be fitted in some place that is supposed to be able to have one car. They take up almost 2 car spaces. I would prefer to cars even get a little slower for the safety reasons and remain their size instead of getting faster and thus bigger so they can fit all those safety features that would not have to be there
There's no reason it should be that much EVER. Its just to pad someone's pockets while robbing people. In my state they offer ZERO alternative fuels yet they complain about our oil use

👍. Manufactures should just create V8s in Smaller Blocks of 4.0 Liters and 3s of Liters. That can also be Fuel Efficient due to size and Powerful. Turbochargers and Superchargers can be had as options for the person that wants it or not. Big and Small Engines of V8s can be available as options by the way. Like a 7 Liter 5.3.

I really like compact cars, they've very popular here in Europe because you can park them virtually anywhere and generally they get better mileage. Skoda Fabia's are extremely safe cars that are cheap, compact and reliable. I also suspect its part of the reason that pickup trucks aren't popular, you can do more with a van thats smaller than a pickup truck.
Much of Europe is constrained by the fact that cities and roads are designed and roads which were intended for horse-drawn carriages. Unless you’re going to nuke London & Paris & redesign them from scratch big cars will always struggle there…

Same with everything. Technology gets developed and more and more gets packed in to make the product better.

Why are cars getting bigger?
1970s Literal Land Boats- IF YOU ASK ME, THEY ARENT BIG ENOUGH!
I call em land yachts
it more the best selling model they made it more wider.. and they like to trick you to buy bigger car.. so if you compare old 5 series.. to new 3 series.. it about the same size and weight..
I mean, in those you could sometimes fit 6 adults in one bench seat. Many modern cars are pretty big, but the way they are inside sometimes makes sitting in a small SUV worse than in a backseat of a muscle car.
Interestingly that age of car coincided with low fuel prices... until the oil crisis kicked in, allowing Japanese/Euro cars to take over :)
I spotted a Lincoln Continental at a parking lot in a tiny European town. I had to stop and stare at how outrageously vast it was. It had a larger footprint than the big work-van parked next to it, while just having 2 doors. It's as though the designers went out of their way to make the body as long and wide as possible. I call it the Lincoln Continent.

11:20 - The SUVs people buy with base engines like 2.5L turbo 4 cylinders need to be revved out a lot more to get into the power that's needed to make big vehicles move. And that just means the engine falls apart sooner because it is overstressed. It won't actually save money in the long run and will lead to more waste because vehicles will fail sooner. No replacement for displacement still rings true. Throwing on a turbo just means your choosing to amplify a certain part of the engine's power curve. Which means sacrificing peak horsepower for more low-end grunt or vice versa. Even with variable turbo technology you are stressing the engine out quite significantly for what usually ends up being very little fuel savings in larger vehicles.
Yep. Like I said in the other posts.
If Vehicle Manufactures , are concerned about Fuel Economy and Performance. They can always make V8 Smaller Block Engines of 4.0 Liters to 3.8 Liters.
Turbochargers and Superchargers can be options . While V8 Engines of Big Blocks and Small Blocks of 7.5 Liters and 5.0 Liters can be options also. They got the technology to make the engines also Straight Forward when it comes to not having complications and be Fuel Efficient.
No disadvantage for diesel (cold exhaust =no turbo wear,no knock=no limits on boost pressure, quality control=no lag, better engine housing to withstand diesel cycle no engine wear due to increased pressure). And for SI 5 years back it was ok as long as 1L=100hp. Now with Atkinson cycle and electrically supported turbos maybe a nice super-cap combo lag is manageable and increased torque can be traded for better economic at lower loads. So do not worry to much. While both waste-gate and variable turbo work best at one operating point as you point out, hybridization can completely make up for that. plus they can still operate over a wider band of rpm and at least support the engine a little. The torque curve should be designed for the task so that you do not need to rev to 4000rpm to get the turbo going. And i mean you could always either get power or eco and a modern turbo lets you decide with a kiss to the throttle. The times of turbos needing additional cooling by flooding them with fuel are over.
@Saint Fifty One for gasoline, yes. For diesel, no. Appart from the price neiter the added complexity nor the maintenance is enourmous. I mean in the Rally Dakar some manufacturers went from 4WD to 2WD because it is less maintenance, but they kept turbos. If you need a transporter for the cheapest price and low end torque, sure go for the 3L NA version, but in all other cases...
Depends large SUVs like Expedition, Tahoe 100% need that bigger engine. Min V6 Turbo putting in a 4 banger is such a large vehicle is dumb and no efficient. Smaller SUVs like the CRV and Ford escape can get away with a smaller Turbo 4 cylinder, biggest issue is maintenance. People never maintain their oil and its always been an issue. Now with Turbo engines becoming more popular those engines need regular oil changes because they will always burn a little oil and run hot.
@@Crazycro905 both honda and ford tried making 1.5l turbo engines fort the CRV and Escape. Fords engine was an overheating lemon, and Hondas engine didn't like head gaskets very much and was constantly diluting oil. The compact SUV segment is just stupid from the get go. People are paying more for a car that sits slightly higher on the road. 99% of buyers would be more than fine with a full sized sedan or wagon. And if people are always in need of the little extra space, they could probably use the larger engine as well.
"Are Cars Going To Keep Getting Bigger?"
Yes. Next question.
Actually interesting to lately see a couple very small trucks on the road that look like the ones I see in pictures and videos of Asian streets.

Cars have been getting faster/more powerful but speed limits have remained the same. Well done, car manufacturers!
I was thinking when he said that, that the only reason they got faster is for manufacturers to brag about it. In day to day life size is more important (at least in Europe) because many of those bigger cars are the worst when it comes to finding a place to park somewhere. They literally can't be fitted in some place that is supposed to be able to have one car. They take up almost 2 car spaces. I would prefer to cars even get a little slower for the safety reasons and remain their size instead of getting faster and thus bigger so they can fit all those safety features that would not have to be there

I've always preferred smaller cars, and I thought I had one in my '15 mustang. But then I bought an early 90s E30, and it's like 2/3 the size even in the 4 door version. Crazy. Now I feel like the mustang is a boat
There’s no replacement for displacement still rings true, you’d be hard pressed to find a turbocharged as reliable as an NA engine
Like in the other post. If vehicle Manufactures want Performance an MPGs, they can always make V8 Smaller Block Engines such as from 4.0 Liters to 3.8 Liters while, Turbochargers and Superchargers can be options.
That is very true. My father owns a 2018 S63 AMG coupe and he needed to go to mercedes 6 times because of engine problems. It has around 20‘000 km...

Tall to your tax hungry government about that one
Saw a study once about changing a dual carriage way to a single lane. There were considerably less accidents as no one could change lanes badly.
I'm sure I'd have a nervous breakdown every time I was stuck behind grandpah doing 27mph in a 50 though
