More musings from Irvine CA......although lots of EVs around, the sound of snarling growling V8s will heard for some time yet on American roads. But what is very noticeable is the variety of big family SUVs on the driveways here (the double garages seem to be used as storage space), mostly of Asian ancestry even if assembled in the US. A typical morning dog walk would see many from Toyota - Highlander, Venza, Sequoia, Sienna, 4Runner; Nissan Armada and the ubiquitous Honda Odyssey, plus the odd Honda Pilot. American offerings seem to be in the minority, e.g. GMC Yukon and Chevy Suburban, but then this is a large Asian community. There is the odd Land/Range Rover (they look small here) and so far I have spotted just one Aston Martin DBX and one black RR Cullinan - which from behind looked very much like a large London taxi! The 'stop oil' brigade would be horrified, although perhaps pleased to see all grades of fuel here are now above $6 a gallon (3.8 litres). Nearly forgot to mention a VW Atlas!
