But they're definitely changing, the car companies like Ford are scrabbling 
to get more of the European "small" cars over to the US whilst they are 
closing factories that make the big pickups and 4x4s.  Maybe one day diesel 
powered cars will become popular over there too, the Americans will probably 
like them as they typically have more low-end torque than petrol cars.

I don't know if it's true or not, but I read somewhere that if you buy a 
huge vehicle like a Hummer, you actually have to pay way less tax because it 
is classed as a different sort of vehicle (like a goods vehicle or something 
rather than a car).
