Terrific item in todays Guardian debating the problem of SUV's (Chelsea Tractors) being built ever larger - crumbs!

The first sentence is "we need an Ozempic for cars".

True!

Am not sure why people need such massive vehicles, though perhaps some will come on here to explain. I suppose if car manufacturers create a trend people will follow it. Years ago people coped with smaller cars with even estate and saloon cars being a fraction of the size of today’s vehicles, and I never remember anyone complaining that their car was far too small or that they wished they could drive a tractor sized vehicle to do the school run.
Is weird really.

What vehicles are they putting in the Chelsea Tractor category please?

We have a friend who is working for a Chinese car manufacturer newish to this country, the cars are huge but function just like any other car carrying the same number of passengers.
I do not understand.
