    Chinese engineers can't figure out imperial? Cool story bro.

    Actually, the USA does NOT use Imperial measures.

    The "US" measure has a significantly smaller gallon.

    Part of what you say is true, but that is not the whole story.... Some people don't just WANT large inefficient cars, they NEED large gas-guzzling vehicles.

    Take, for example, me. I have five kids (three are adopted, so no preaching about overpopulating the Earth). Add the wife, and I need a vehicle to carry at least seven people

    It takes seven of you to buy groceries?
    It takes all seven to drive you to work and back?
    Really?

    THE MAN has shifted the debate.

    Like you, I recently came to the realization that my life is not centred around my phone, and that if it does a few basic things: who cares?

    But the debate has been cleverly shifted. It's like Coke and Pepsi. The question is no longer "Should I drink overpriced sugary flavoured water?". Now the question is "Which brand of [sugary flavoured water] should I swear fealty to?".

    Clever marketing in both cases. I am sure you can find other examples.
