l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.

They’re method of analysis for risk to drivers does not seem very thorough to me they only compare one SUV from each price bracket, it only includes risk of injury to driver(a big reason people but SUVs and minivans is for their family), and since only comparing one model for each bracket it leads to not very high sample data. Also, none of this is relevant to a Kei truck which doesn’t have the design and safety features of a traditional sedan
