In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example.
In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the Americ an Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “ the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette
At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000.
