I don't think most people think about it like you do. Americans tend to spend far more on cars than they need to. An awful lot of SUVs and expensive German cars are sold to people that could probably get by with an inexpensive sedan or hatchback.
I do live in Texas though, so my experience might not be typical.

I live in Detroit area. You’re right. Pickups and full size SUVs galore.
I don’t think a subscription model is too far fetched at all. We definitely intend to at least consider being a one car household, even at current ride share prices, when the current secondary car reaches end of life.
