It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

As I understand it is because of emission control laws.

It is hard for manufacturers to create cars which fallow regulations and those big trucks are exempt from regulations since they are "trucks" and not "cars".

I wonder how can those even be legal, I am seeing the lm more and more in Europe and it is so sad since they are bigger than most streets.

We should just forbid them.
