This is one of those threads that underscores the sense of distance expressed in the living abroad thread...

Crossovers are basically not a thing here, SUVs even less so.

People drive hatchbacks and sedans. The VW Polo is probably the most common car. Interestingly, the European makers seen as high-end in North America expand their model ranges lower here to the point where a 3-series can be had with a 1.4 litre engine and cloth seat. When you see a 5 series BMW, it's never a 540i. It's almost always a 520i or 523i, neither of which make it to North America. Gas is more than twice the price it is in Canada here.

You see a lot of Teslas in my Rosedale-ish neighbourhood due to a tax credit that recently expired. Danes pay a 100% tax on all cars, so cars cost at least twice what they do in Canada. They slashed that for electrics for a long time.
