The center and center-right here love car bloat, because larger cars are how they prove to themselves that they're rich. This isn't a surrender so much as using Trump to justify passing a policy they've wanted to pass for 3-4 years now.

But they already have: - interiors (leather! real wood! for all I care, use ivory) - branding (see VW Phaeton flop) - length (D/E/F-class, while B/C are for the commoners) - speed/power/vroom - even width, I wouldn't begrudge So why front grille height, a thing with safety impact (pun intended)?
