Will people still go for Big cars?

Ask yourself weather u like  Ford ikon or a BMW 7 series. small segment is flourishing because middle class people of India are buying cars.If they are wealthy enough they will go for big cars.

Yes, I believe people would still go for big cars coz those who have a passion for big cars would not compromise .Though there is a lot of talk about those eco- friendly cars but still our auto sector has to work a lot in order to provide those in plenty and also performance wise coz at the end of day all of us want something that would suit us budget as well as performance wise. 

I would also like to add that by getting those 2-3 small cars in a single family replaced by a big car would prove beneficial for them as well as for environment in reducing the harmful emissions.

For some people, its not the energy but its the synergy that matters to suit their class,,,,why won't they in this free economy???

Definitely people will go for big cars only.Because all will think about the comfort and the luxurious life.If all the family members want to go for a trip then the big cars provide much comfort than going on by any means of transport.It is not the size we have to take into consideration the amount of carbon emissions that they are releasing have to take into account.The car companies have to think to make big cars that are capable of less effect to the environment so that the people can also be satisfied along with the less damage to the environment...............

YES!

They are more of a status symbol. It speaks in volumes of the person owning it. And if it is chauffer driven, well... Its also comfort to a large extent.

Yes, big cars are basically becoming a matter of pride and therefore, there should not be a stop for this segment of cars. However, practically seeing the way the population is increasing in most of the upcoming cities and bad infrastructure system, there should be more number of small when compared to big cars running around. ....

'Big' does not make a much of a difference to pollution but technology does:), and as a big car has its utilitarian advantages, it is more likely to remain than any other personal vehicles till technological transgression into non polluting vehicles happen completely. The other point I would like to convey is that, big cars help in car pooling, which keeps the number of car down, and on the other hand, people with small cars tend to buy more than one car to suit their requirements which will not contribute to betterment of the current condition through any means. All said and done, the choices are with the masses.

yes. U r rite.people dont really care about thetalks goin about green world.They want their family to be together in a car.Big cars make a difference in their status symbol also.

I too quite agree with what Mridula and Sharath have expressed, and big cars will see buyers given the fact that small cars are getting more and more popular these days, and there is nothing much to say as both of them have explained it beautifully.

When I say YES, I don't mean that market for big cars is higher than that for small cars. What I understand from the question is "in spite of so much talk about Green, will people go for big cars whioch consume more energy?"

I would say, people still go for big cars, mainly for one reason i.e. STATUS. This continues.....it is well explained by Maslow's theroy!!!
