In 2024, I drove some 30-odd vehicles, enough for most of them to blend together into a hazy mush. There are exceptions, of course, but the infinite sea of gray SUVs is almost indistinguishable in my memory. But as a city dweller, they almost all suffer from the same problems: They’re too big for Seattle’s narrow streets, difficult to parallel park, and have poor visibility (especially for pedestrians). Not to mention they are generally quite boring to drive.
