Why cant the US have cool small cars like the Jimny?
No one would buy them Everyone complains about how big and expensive new cars are but then someone sells a small cheap car and no one buys it
>>28943326people lined up to order like 3 years of maverick production in the first year
>>28943328what is "a year of maverick production"
>>28943326I live in the city and it sucks that my choices are either a mid-size SUV or a a large car. Why dont they make small SUVs
>>28943328maverick was such a good idea that immediately collapsed once Ford jacked up the price 25%. may as well buy a 2-3 year old Ranger if I'm spending $30k anyway
>>28943325Small cars are terrible to drive in modern traffic. We have plenty of "small cars". They're called golf carts and side by sides. There is no need for a shitty compromised combination of the two. >>28943373Spending $30k on any of those is retarded when a decent half ton starts at $35k.
>>28943328The maverick is in no way small. It's a very very big car.
>>28943377A decent half ton doesn't start at 35k though. You're going to go online and find literally the cheapest silverado WT sclb with the 2.7 and 2wd at some dealership in Kentucky that has 19 different discounts that almost no one will qualify for including military vet discount, local college student discount, and native American discount but we all know the truck isn't actually moving for 35k and then if it did, it's only discounted so much because it's such a useless piece of shit no one is buying them at msrp
>>28943387This is an American website. A Honda Civic is pretty much the smallest vehicle on the road. The Maverick is still pretty tiny by American standards. >>28943393You say that shit in every truck thread. Go actually walk into a dealership and come back with some prices. Until then stop making excuses for your shitty haggling skills.
>>28943325 Because fucking corporate kikes and traitors control the govt
>>28943397I say that in every time because every time you say a half ton is 35k you always post the same example. Everyone who has ever actually shopped for a new truck knows you're not getting a "decent" one new for under 45
>>28943325B O O M E R S
>>28943326Wrong. Moderniggers will buy anything that's not a Dodge Hornet.
>>28943325according to NHTSA, safety is a big part of it, make of that what you will. i do feel like part of that is that the trucks, SUVs, and electric vehicles made in the US are so big and heavy, they would clobber any vehicle without modern crumple points/side impact protection, and the modern idiot driving them probably can't see over the hood that well. Aussie/third world utes are also not allowed in the US for the same reason. emissions are also cited as a reason, but everyone knows that's a horseshit smokescreen that really means "we don't want you taking sales away from our Goyim Transport Units™."
>>28943377Small cars are way better to drive. Only manlets with a height fixation disagree
>>28943325>Why cant the US have cool small cars like the Jimny?
>>28943325>Jimny>coolThey're slow, noisy little shitboxes.I was super keen on buying one....right up until I took one for a test drive.
>>28943325>Why cant the US have cool small cars like the Jimny?They tried, people won't commit to them.
>>28943387>The maverick is in no way small. It's a very very big car.Tiny cars are awful to drive in the US. Its not uncommon to get up to 80mph on the highway just commuting to work. Short wheel base 90hp shitboxes and 20 mile daily drives on the freeway aren't 2 things that go together. A Mavrick at least has a longer wheel base, but generally driving a long bed super duty is nicer on long cruises. The Maverick is small enough to do really well in urban areas, but quick trips across town aren't bad either.A short wheel base tiny mobile is great if you never leave the city or never get over 50mph or you drive on a dirt trail regularly. Think of them like lifted jeeps on 36" tires. Great at low speed and for what they were generally designed for, awful as a daily driver. Plus nobody likes that feeling of being in the tiniest vehicle next to dozens of other vehicles on the road.
>>28943326Explain the demand for the Maverick and civics then retard!
>>28944363>The Ford Maverick achieved a record-setting year in 2025, with total US sales reaching 155,051 units>Ford F-Series sales in 2025 reached 828,832 units in the U.S., marking an 8.3% increase and securing its 49th consecutive year as America's best-selling truck. Key 2025 performance highlights include a record 84,934 F-150 Hybrid sales, while the electric F-150 Lightning saw 27,307 deliveries.Tough to really compare because F150's aren't individually broken out. Neither are the F250s, 350s, all the way through 850s. F250's are tax writeoffs for many companies, Mavericks are not. >Honda sold approximately 242,005 Civic units in the United States in 2024. No complete sales data for 2025 for some reason, I assume its slightly higher than 2024. Honda has badge recognition and reputation for a quality vehicle. Not because its a compact car. >The 2025 Honda CR-V has sustained high demand, leading to strong sales with over 300,000 units sold in the first three quarters of 2025This is evidenced by the slightly larger honda chassis outselling the smaller one.
>>28943326Why does it matter nobody would buy them, just import them to order then as a niche product. They are already running the production lines, extra sales is free money, assuming they can get enough pre-orders to cover the expected cost of US certifications and the basic front/side DOT crash testing.
>>28943840People love their jeeps and a current Jimny (~10-11s) 0-60 is only slightly slower than the early JK wranglers were, and just as slow as any older than that.
>>28943326Of course, because why else would consumer reports need be paid off to falsify test results so the public would believe these cars were "more prone to tipover" while ford was selling exploding tires
Because the Big Three want you to buy a nu-Silverado/F150/RAM.
