It's cheaper to purchase a safer and fatter Ferrari!

I'm sorry, I don't understand the 'problem' here - our Nation's highways are 
getting more-and-more crowded, but highway fatalities are decreasing since the 
average car is now the safest in automotive history.? 
? 
If we want to go back to the time when cars were smaller/lighter/faster, we 
need to remove roughly HALF of the traffic on our highways first, including 
cutting back on the number of tractor trailers, Elderly/Youth drivers, 
irresponsible drivers, and completely re-design SOCIETY to facilitate cheap, 
convenient mass-transit, safer and more-affordable inner-city housing, 
re-zoning much of society for the co-habitation of commercial AND residential 
areas (so people could actually walk to the grocery store/mall/restaurants/post 
office, etc. without having to drive a car?to these locations), stamping out 
urban sprawl, forcing development UPward instead of OUTward, etc.? None of this 
is going to happen - it would be Un-American.? Very European, but 
Un-American....
