Australians are obsessed with SUVs and huge utes, but experts say they are making our roads deadlier

We really are in many ways. Most of our politicians are in the pocket of fossil fuel lobbies, while Murdoch and his ilk control the prevailing narrative in the media. There's a car brain epidemic here for sure.

We are a pathetically apathetic nation.

We are the quintessential consumer of American goods and media.

You don't need visibility - the car will see for you... Did you feel that bump?

I would actually totally look into a Ute if they sold them in America. Are they like a Subaru Brat?

I live in New Orleans and barely drive, and even then I have a PHEV and solar so I basically use gas in my daily life. But my parents live in the suburbs and I like gardening so when I really need a vehicle, I need like half a truck. Putting the seats down in a hatchback mostly works but an electric Subaru Brat would be ideal for my actual needs.
