I just feel people don't need that much space in a car, now you might come up with some uncommon example of when someone needs that much space, but quite frankly I don't care. We got by without these huge cars for a very long time, I don't see how all of a sudden theres now a need for this space.

If you want to donate cars to everyone in America, go right ahead and be the judge of how much space and what kind of vehicle you think they need. It's your money, you can do what you want with it.
Until then, it's a moot point since how people choose to spend their money that they work for is none of your, my, or anyone else's business!
And while you mentioned "huge cars", cars from the 40s-70s were far bigger than they are today. A modern-day Crown Victoria would have been considered a midsize car (if that) back in the 60s. The cars people actually want were legislated out of existence thanks to fuel economy laws. So they had to buy trucks to get the same kind of room and power they wanted in cars. Thing is, SUVs are a lot heavier and thirstier than a car of similar dimensions.
I think it's very likely that if the government didn't try to force us into undersized, underpowered cars, people wouldn't have to turn to SUVs and the roads wouldn't be full of Escalades and Navigators. Something to think about.
