Good. There are far too many dickheads driving oversized obnoxious vehicles hostile to the public.
General Motors truck and SUV designer Karan Moorjani said “that’s what this truck should look like – a massive fist moving through the air.”
Not sure what the causal relationship is but I suspect it's a bit of both ways. Driving a big "fist" probably makes people drive more aggressively but I suspect assholes are attracted to buying them too.
Unfortunately this won't do much. There are so many Ford Rangers around that Ranger Danger is a term. And BYD seems keen to take over with the ugly shark.

The person being quoted here, all they do is design cosmetic plastic for the front-end of the existing Chevy Silverado, since the GMC Sierra is a rebadge. They have no say on how tall the vehicle is.
They should be pulled in and required to answer for pedestrian strike lawsuits and challenged why they chose to design the vehicle like that knowing the risk to the public, given public statements like that.
