Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It costs about the same to assemble a SUV and a sedan. An SUV could be priced at close to double. Americans love big things that they can own.
My PHEV sedan is uncomfortably low to the ground. I'd be happy with the same exact car lifted maybe 4". But that doesn't seem to be on offer.
Have you considered an aftermarket solution? There's a good chance you can change the suspension on your current vehicle for a fairly reasonable price.
If Chevy put their Voltec powertrain from the Volt PHEV into a Silverado, I’d buy one the first day it came out.
Does the Toyota Crown come in a PHEV flavor?
I don't know but my dad works for GM so I have to buy American. I'm looking at Rivian. But it'll be a couple years.
I’d imagine most people with those SUVs don’t actually own them. They’re either leasing them, or have a huge monthly car payment that they’ll just fold into another car loan when trading it in for the next.
“80% of new cars in the United States are financed.”

1/5 of new cars are leased.

Eight of the top ten vehicles leased in 2020 were SUVs or large trucks.

Do you have any data, at all, to back up any of that?
