peopleneedaplacetogo replied to your photo: the people love … trucks

Is this related to trucks being subject to less stringent emissions standards, as was the case in the US?

people bought … more trucks … because they were subject to less stringent emission standards?

Yeah trucks have less strict emissions and gas mileage requirements, which lets them mount engines optimized more for performance than efficiency; this is a big part of why so much “muscle car” mojo’s been translated from 2-door cars to pickup trucks
