Wider lanes and no limitation to the composed vehicle lenght, since only the semi-trailer has its size limited by law back there. Also, due to those enormous cabs, it would be harder to make a tilting setup for a longer one...

I figured along the same lines.

Bonnetted trucks are also still popular in Australia, altough Volvo currently sells only cab-overs back there just like Isuzu, Mercedes-Benz and Scania...

I have driven some of those. They are like driving a car.

Some cab-overs from European manufacturers nowadays offer as many comfort features as a flagship sedan.

Yeah they do.

I must confess I still like more the classic looks of a stereotypical American big rig such as a Peterbilt, but nowadays European drivelines are not so far behind.

They are starting to grow one me.
