Fat Americans Miss Giant SUVs and Trucks

It seems that one of the reasons why some Americans bought giant gas-guzzlers is so they can fit their massive bellies behind the steering wheel. They also needed to stow all of their worthless crap as well.

Perhaps the biggest draw for large vehicles: comfort. Having wide, soft seats to accommodate the ever-growing American physique and space to stash briefcases, totes and handbags has changed from a luxury feature to one drivers take for granted. And as people spend more time in their vehicles, they have come to crave the sense of safety, privacy and insulation that come with larger vehicles.
