Never seen the third pedal on an American car/truck?
It’s not a “huge space” and the reason is because they’re significantly less expensive, more reliable, and easier to adjust and repair.
I own a truck with such a pedal and I own a manual car. I’ve only ever had the pedal on trucks. All the cars I’ve ever owned have all been hand levers(regardless of transmission). If it wasn’t clear…I’m not arguing for this change but I semi-understand why it’s coming.
I’m not happy about the near entire extinction of the manual transmission in the US either. There are only a handful of cars that even offer it anymore and most of those are performance models with hefty price tags.
They put them in cars, too…
Conversely…they put the electric parking brakes in the higher trims of American trucks too. So what’s your point?
My point is the electric parking brakes are not necessary or beneficial in any way. They only serve to make the vehicle more expensive and less reliable.
That’s not what I said. I said I’ve never owned one. They’re far more common on trucks/vans. I know cars have them. Usually more towards the luxury side of the market but that again comes down to making the interior look more streamlined and fancy.
I’m not sure what your point was in that statement if not to infer that they don’t exist.
