When you say car "culture" that starts to encapsulate the car enthusiasts and collectors and I can assure you it's not "centered" around trucks. If you are defining car culture then would it be safe to assume the car culture in Europe is nothing but tiny,powerless,rattletraps? Or the Japanese car culture is nothing but torqueless engines and cars that can barely get out of their own way? No. That wouldn't be accurate. Car SALES maybe but the culture is very far from that.
