I've seen more Large US Car/Pickups (think old full size van/suburban/pickup) in the Netherlands than anywhere else in Europe (with the exception of right outside of a US military facility).


And they should be banned as they are wrong on every scale and measurement. Our infrastructure is not made for those huge machines nor does anyone need one.

If you need a car for a construction job, we have autobuses like VW Sprinter or Caddy for that


How much time have you spent here? That doesn't jibe with what I see at all. There are so many more giant truckish cars in France, Germany, and the UK than I see here in the Netherlands. I'm looking out my front window now and I see about 20 cars of which one is in the SUV form factor.


Maybe it depends on where you are? I found the prevalence of Dodge Rams in the Netherlands jarring. They're incredibly poorly suited to the towns and cities there.


It's not that they're common, but at the fringe of the distribution the large "full size" US v8 powered things (Ram, Suburban, Full sized 80's Van, _not_ large EU style SUVs like the Volvo, X5, Range Rover, etc) were noticeably more common in NL than elsewhere.
