From the Washington post article:

> Ramirez, 33, and his wife Angelica Castro-Calle really want a new, small SUV with a little space for camping and paddleboarding gear

> Johnny Loredo and his wife paid $38,000 for a new Nissan Frontier truck

> If they hadn’t had a used Suburban to trade in

Yeaah. That could be the issue. People aren’t looking to buy cars anymore, but tanks.

To be fair, you quoted a couple that traded in a Suburban for a Nissan Frontier. The former is one of the biggest mass produced vehicles you can buy, the Frontier is large but considerably smaller and wouldn’t be out of place on European roads (truck wise).

And the first part of the quote describes a small SUV for another couple. Everyone’s definition of “small SUV” will vary, but I’m not sure many would infer tank.

Of course, your definition of tank could be very different to mine.
