Europe used to laugh at American big cars

Depends on what you mean by used to. When I was a child in the 70's American cars were awesome compared to European IMO.
It kind of depicted the American dream, freedom and excessive wealth by European standards. Which was probably truer then than it is now, where the American dream and freedom appear to be merely illusions.
