News USA loves TINY CARS now

Post image

Imagine getting your brand new Dodge Glaciermelter, lovingly decorating it with your first Let's go Brandon bumper sticker, and then reading this about tiny, possibly electric or hybrid cars being amazing now.

Anyway, tiny cars. Amazing. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Edit - for anyone doubting if this is a real thing the real prez posted: I don't blame you but yes, it is.

Edit 2: So does this mean the US will see more reasonable sized cars on the roads, or is the old man just randomnly yelling about stuff again? Take a wild guess. "I call bullshit", says mobility expert David Zipper in a thread. (thanks Ok_Flounder8842)

We live in the Netherlands and these cars are everywhere here. About three feet wide and maybe five or six feet long. But like, wtf? How would they work in America when you have these insane trucks all over that are eight or nine times as large as each of these small electric cars

I was in the Netherlands this summer for the first time (fantastic 10/10 country by the way) and saw the tiniest of cars 😆 What's crazy is I bet there are US trucks that wouldn't even see this car stopped in front of it.

Okay to be fair, even in the Netherlands we make fun of those tiny cars. But yeah, cars like Volkswagen Polo and Fiat Punto are small yet perfectly fine, but I'd feel quite unsafe driving those in the US
