The demand for sedans are steadily declining. When it comes to practicality and style in the automotive world, SUVs often reign supreme. It’s no secret that big cars dominate American roads. But even so, some of the stats are insane: Last year, 80 percent of all new cars sold in the US were SUVs and trucks. That’s compared to just 52 percent in 2011. Meanwhile, many automakers are phasing out passenger cars as consumer demand for them has disappeared.

    The problem here is big fat SUV have a high profit margins. That's the main reason, smaller cars need more time to develop but with SUVs all you need to do change few headlights and panels. It's been said SUV are generally unsafer due to how many corners are cut and lawmakers want bigger cars out there. The issue is it causes damage on the road because the vehicles are bigger and heavier.

    I personally love sedans and drive an Accord myself, they’re more comfortable to me and more fun to drive. I don’t have to raise my seat all the way up to see over the hood while having my seat also forward most of the way either which in my opinion is uncomfortable to drive and I do prioritize comfort which I am more comfortable in a sedan than I am in a SUV, which I’ll admit having one is nice when you do have to move stuff around but 90% of the time I’m not hauling around stuff all the time for the most part anyways.

    IMHO - It's not about sedans disappearing. It's about TRUNKS disappearing. A hatch cargo area (be it on a minivan, SUV or an old VW Rabbit) proved it is more efficient to hold bulky items than a long, shallow trunk. Combine that with desire for a higher H-point for aging car buyers, and you have American roads filled with compact yet roomy RAV4, Escape, and CR-V types replacing the Cutlasses & Crown Vics of 40 years ago.

    It’s all about profits , can’t make high profits off of cars so they eliminate them . At the same time imports still have cars in the U.S .

    You would think that if manufacturers started to focus their entire business on exploiting a loophole, legislators would adjust the legislation accordingly. Especially when 1200 pedestrian deaths could have been avoided. Regarding the performance aspect, where would you drive these powerful monsters anyway? Speed limits in the US are lower than elsewhere and most people use their cars mostly on parking lots and in traffic jams.

    The Cruise, Impala, Focus, Dart, Charger, and now the Malibu. Olds and Pontiac are dead. Buick only builds roller skates now. Cadillac builds cars yet!
  • @Justhings332
    They can’t haul things like suv crossovers can. They’re practically useless
  • @user-by9qd4wv7o
    Hardly any coupes, convertibles, station wagons, now sedans? They want us all to buy a Corvette? 😂

    Legislative design by lobbyists from Detroit. Don´t try to put this on the ¨government¨. This is politics and the politicians are elected by ¨we¨ the people.
