Lots of thoughts here. First one is because Jay-Z doesn't drive a small
car. Trying to avoid generalizations, but lots of kids here today feel
that if they "pass" high school, they're entitled to a new whip. An SUV
with 20's. Another thought: American roads, streets, and parking spaces
are comparatively large and we're not faced with the limited space of
old city centers in European cities. Gas has always been cheap here as
well. Also, older larger American sedans have really cheap purchase
prices. Very affordable to buy for youngsters.

All generalizations of course. I'm a high school teacher and tomorrow
I'll ask what they think of some micro cars. Already know the answer.
Sigh.
