    So many conspiracy theories in these comments about why American manufacturers don’t build smaller cars.

    It’s very simple, American Auto Companies are loan companies, not auto manufacturers.

    Why would they produce a $10k go-kart with a useable bed when they can get people to finance a $110k SUV at 18% APR?

    It’s not about oil, or other resources, or even labor and tooling.

    It’s just much more profitable to put you into debt.
