Why is the new market just SUVs?
I get it if you have a family or moving stuff a lot, but other than that I don't see a point. I just heard Ford is getting rid of everything but their Mustang and the Taurus Hatchback version for their 2019 lineup, and Chevy isn't far behind, and I can't velieve it personally. I've always preferred sedans to SUVs and I don't get why everyone, like millennials or whatever the new young generation is is just getting SUVs and not sedans (I should mention I'm the whatever generation so this isn't just me spatting off at young people)
JUST SUVs? Where, exactly, do you live?
The number of people, couples or families can no longer afford 2 cars, there fore something that can do a bit more then just haul people around is the choice.
Haven't heard about any of the Japanese or European brands ditching sedans, but American brands just don't seem to be selling the traditional "family" 4-door sedan. In the meantime, manufacturers can't build SUVs fast enough to keep up with demand. Besides… Trucks and SUVs are more profitable! It makes sense to concentrate production on the most popular vehicles and let the less popular ones slide.
It's true that small and midsize SUVs are now outselling sedans but no car company but Ford is calling it quits on sedans -- yet. Reasons seem to be that many folks consider SUVs more flexible than cars -- hauling more stuff, fold down rear seats, 3rd row seats, riding a bit higher in the driver's seat, and all-round good visibility.
Diversity of styling also seems to be a factor in why smaller SUVs are popular. Ever notice how similar nearly all modern sedans look when viewed in profile? This similarity is because that one style is the most aerodynamic, having less drag, which maximizes fuel economy.
Manufacturers push high profit SUVs over sedans because they are cheaper make and they sell for more.
If you don't like what the American car makers are doing then switch to foreign brands. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai, BMW and many others are not abandoning sedans and in fact build better cars than their American competitors.
- Why is everyone in america buying trucks and suvs? It seems small cars are dying. And i heard ford and chevy is getting rid of there small cars. But why are most people buy overpriced suvs and trucks if you can get a small hatchback or sedan much cheaper and it is much more economical?
- Why doesn't Ford just identify as not an assault victim and move on, just like when you identify as a different gender? After all, if a man can "identify" as a woman despite the actual physical evidence he sees in the mirror every day, it should be a snap to "identify" past something that has no evidence. Stop dodging the question libs - the mechanism you claim allows you to be a different gender despite your years in your physical body should be powerful enough to change your perspective on one moment of your life… Or is the whole thing a fraud?
- Stocks fall on trade news, weak jobs report. Ford recalls trucks, SUVs over gear indicator. How's Trump going to try and spin this? Stocks fall because of his tariffs threat to China. He's not creating jobs like he claimed he would. Deregulation only hurts the consumers.
- Any new interesting news about Gm, Ford or mopar performance vehicles coming out in 2018,2019? Trucks, cars, trucks, SUVs, Hatchbacks? Mopars has brought out extreme amounts of muscle cars, trucks, SUVs, full size and mid size sedans. Other than cadillac is there any other American an brands coming to compete? Or is mopar going to compete with the raptor/Shelby for trucks or for small/hatchback against Ford and there focus st/r's?
