Re:Vietnam’s Richest Man Bets $2B to Sell Cars to Americans by AnthonyMouse on Tuesday December 10, 2019 @01:56AM (#21750301)
Actually performance is exactly why SUVs came to dominate -- they're classified as trucks under CAFE which allows them to have worse fuel economy. Which allows them to have bigger engines.

That advantage mostly fell to hybrids and full electrics, because now you can make a fast car that satisfies the rules, but by that point the ship had already sailed and now people don't feel safe in a sporty little thing next to the neighbor's hausfrauenpanzer so now people want it to be fast and big.
