      People are only buying crossovers. Don’t blame car companies for making cars people buy.

        I’d argue that crossovers are the “default” type of car now. They really are just hatch/wagon cars with some different styling and typically a slightly higher suspension.

        Also: I’m glad people here are saying “crossover” rather than “SUV”. They are not the same.

        car manufacturers are the ones who made people want SUVs/crossovers in the first place.

        If you only make crossovers, people will omly buy crossovers. People still buy accords, civics and sentras. Hyundai and Kia still make nice sedans and people still buy them.

        As for EV sedans, the id7 is the only cheapish electric one I can think but isn’t sold in the US. (I don’t know about other evs sold in Canada).

        If there was an ev civic, people would buy them.
