By that logic an Aveo is a perfect family car.



Nope, over 8600 lbs are still exempt.
Light trucks have a weight, payload and footprint average that hurts HHRs and helps Diesel 1/2 tons.
When Gov't types and media talking heads discuss the truck loophole, they mean car based minivans that the EPA classifies as trucks.
you can not tell me that you take or even have any use to take your suv off road. What reason would you even need to take a auto off road? We need to rethink our way of autos and how we use them. GM should reuse the t-models and the cavalier to create a new awd system part fwd part rwd and use that as the next suv trucks etc. A car should only need to seat 4 or 5 people for safety reasons. also cars dont need a radio and other infotainment. the driver should be in a cone of silence.
