Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Strictly based on looks, CUVs are ugly, and yet I see so many of them. I don't get why people like how they look or why this body style is so popular.

Edit: CUV = Crossover Utility Vehcile

Minivans are a fair bit larger than most CUVs though. I'd love if something like the Astro/Safari came back to the market, but it's not like they're a 1:1 replacement. The Dodge Caravan is neatly 2' longer than a Honda CRV, for example.

What we really need more of is station wagons IMO and to fix our infrastructure so that people aren't terrified to drive anything less than an WD turbo-charged car with 8" minimum of ground clearance

Yeah. I loved my H6 Subaru Outback (totaled by a drunk driver at about 350,000 miles) and both my Volvo wagons. It really is the best configuration nowadays, but the station wagon name has a bad reputation in the US for being for old people.
