What I care more about is making cars... cars. Visit a dealership in the US and it's 98% SUV/Truck and 2% sedans.
I just want cheap economy shitboxes back. User serviceable ones. Without an extra half ton of plastic and unnecessary electronics. Bring back wind up windows and normal radios. Vinyl seats. Hell, bench seats. Wind up windows.
The lowest tech car I could find was the Mitsubishi Mirage G4, and they told me it's being discontinued this year! I think that leaves the Nissan Versa as the only subcompact entry-level vehicle on the market.
Which is beyond insane. People are broke.
I just got a leaf
Can confirm, I used to daily an 07 focus and it went through door handles like tires
Most "SUVs" are actually crossovers. Which are just hatchbacks, wagons, and non-sliding door minivans. Take an Impreza hatchback and lift it 3 inches, and suddenly it's an "SUV."
But yeah, sedans w/trunks are becoming a bit of a rarity.
Yeah, Subaru is getting rid of the Legacy sedan in 2025 and keeping the Impreza hatchback because the Impreza shares parts with their larger SUVs. The Legacy doesn't, so it makes them more money to get rid of the car.
