    As a person who lives in upstate New York / the rust belt, this would be catastrophic for traffic in the winter. And actually the CUVs on each side are more fuel efficient, have less emissions, and are significantly safer than the 90s car. Looks can be deceiving.

      A lot of that is just 30-40 years of progress. A car built to be a similar size and performance as that 90’s car using the current state of the art would be significantly more fuel efficient, have less emissions, and would be just as safe as those SUVs.

      Who cares about safety, and things like that. They want smaller cars! Also I had a couple large cars in the 90s. Including 2 massive suburbans. So there’s are only certain cars that are small. This is the same things about older appliances apparently working forever, which they did not, bias by a few is all. I would never give up a modern car for anything from the 90s. Most of those cars just sucked
