> i wish there were no huge tariffs i could get a great hyundai cheap but fuck no. looking at lithuania's import duties, tariffs, and taxes, it's extortionate. add in that lithuania is import dependent and i don't doubt that everything is expensive.   > it's not that they "hate" them, it's more they can't fit into them. sales figures say otherwise. 2022 saw a 47% drop in subcompact sales. superminis sold so poorly that the us had zero offerings by 2019. americans do not want to drive small cars when everything around them is over 2x-3x their size. minimum sizing for what americans want is a midsize car to be comfortable, regardless of bmi.
