MODERATORS
100% they are buying these to "protest" the "green agenda" or some bullshit like that.
That's not very strong in EU, it's mostly for ego, people buy cars that they think look like the image they want to display.
??? Thats just wrong lol
In which EU country is there a notable percentage of people buying big cars to protest the green agenda? Never heard of it in France. I do know a lot of people who buy cars for the image and the social status however.
Here in Sweden it's certainly not an insignificant opinion amongst car enthusiasts.
