The reason for this is bad but the end result is good. Let's hope these habits stick around once people are in a better spot.

I wouldn't get your hopes too high.

In the wake of the 2008 crisis, many people stopped buying huge gas-guzzling automobiles and started buying smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles.

Sure enough, as things recovered, people bounced right back to the SUVs.

Small vehicles aren't sold in the US anymore.
