This whole exchange is predicated on the age-old American notion that bigger is always better. So we make fun of small things. Ha Ha, funny.
Take a look around the world, Asia and Europe, not just today but going back 100 years. Lots of small vehicles, or vehicles just big enough to do their job. If you made fun of everyone with a small car in Europe, you wouldn't have a lot of friends around.
This is America, so buy what you want, that's your right, but it's a bit silly to mock everyone who's interested in fuel economy or efficiency however. Gas isn't 25 cents a gallon anymore, and there's some major climate issues we have to deal with.
Kudos to folks who are using what they need and getting by.
