minus-squareqjkxbmwvz@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoThe Chevy Suburban is about the same weight now as in 1973 (5837lbs then, 5785-5993lbs now, according to Wikipedia). It was huge then, it’s huge now. The BMWs pictured are not the same class of car either — one is a coupe/sedan, one’s an SUV, so of course they will be radically different. Don’t get m wrong, I think modern cars are too big and, in the case of BMW, way uglier than they used to be.
