Then congrats you are among the tiny minority for whom BMI is not an accurate measure of obesity. You are simply unlike 99% of the people for whom BMI obesity means they are actually obese.

That however doesn't detract from the argument in this thread that Americans are being more obese and that affects their vehicle choice.

BMI is actually rather inaccurate when measuring obesity in athletic individuals such as myself.
