Every time I'm on the road with my little Cavalier, I am driving the smallest car on the road. No kidding, I'm the little prehistoric shrew surrounded by gigantic dinosaurs. Some the SUVs and trucks are twice the size of my car. And the Cavalier isn't even a subcompact, it's only slightly smaller than a midsize sedan. And every time I notice this, I ask the same question: what cultural impulse is pushing this trend toward gigantism in American cars?
