Ya. It makes sense this is what the majority of people in the US are buying.

The small car market only constitutes like 2% of the entire market.

The other 98% are suvs and pick up trucks which means most people aren't buying a truck because they need it for work or some kind of utility reason. They don't need 8ft beds. They need back seats because they don't want to buy a sedan.

But since the customer is almost never right outside of matters of taste what they all really want is a sadan that looks like a pick up. So here we are.

Trucks are third now I think. compact SUV's started taking over the market roughly last year
