I don't know if this is still true or not, but the last few times I have been in the US (the last time was about four years ago) nearly everyone was driving a giant van that we'd always have to stop and buy a step stool or find a milk carton just for me to get inside without being lifted in. The basic "floors" were higher up than I could lift my legs (I'm 4'8" and can no longer bend well). Even with a step stool I usually had to pull myself in with the straps designed to hang suits from (I have good upper body strength).
I understood why friends who are musicians or have five kids might want one of these monsters (or who play Current Middle Ages on weekends with camping gear and body armor) but almost no one we met, stayed with, or traveled with had anything like a normal car. It was all these SUV sorts of vehicles, I didn't even see many pickup trucks even in rural California.
But I know that things can change quickly, has the gasoline/fuel shortages started to hit and caused people to want smaller cars? I remember when I live in California from 1989 to 1993, the trend was back to tiny cars because of fuel costs. Which is one reason the massive SUVs in Nightwolf's parents' home in Dallas Texas surprised me so much about 1995. I gather Texas was one of the first places to go for the Giant SUVs instead of cars in a big way, but it was like that everywhere my last few trips. I saw cars on the road, but almost no one I knew drove them.
