Damn it.
The sedan market is not shrinking from lack of demand, you just can't find any to buy. Automakers have just been making giant trucks and SUVs and those butt-ugly crossovers that look like shoes. I've been wanting an affordable, non shoe-looking, non-Tesla EV sedan for a good while now. My wait continues.
Thing is, families don't buy sedans anymore. There's no way to fit two kids, two dogs, four suitcases and a kayak into a sedan. You need a shoebox on wheels. If you don't have kids, you don't even need a back seat. Why get a sedan when you can get a sporty coup? It's a compromise vehicle that doesn't do anything better than the alternatives.
In my day, that's how kids were made. Plus, I do need groceries and stuff. The dogs also ride back there.
It's way more than a compromise vehicle. Decent mileage/range, not too large, not too small, fits 4 people comfortably, fits just about anywhere, doesn't look ridiculous like the shoe-mobiles lol.
Bring back the wagons!
