Ouch. Right in the 1/3-life crisis feels.

I know man, but you're right. It's such a great little car and it checks a lot of boxes - reasonably fast, great handling, stick(!), room for 2 small kids, etc. My 40-something dentist friend bought an even smaller Fiesta ST, so the demographics for these things must be pretty diverse. But with a growing family, I'll likely be trading it in for a Bronco.

I loved the idea of the RS as a Blue Oval product to take on the STi but for the price I would have bought a Mustang GT over the RS. Instead I bought neither because I'm poor like Kenny's family. Hoping the Bronco will be my first new car purchase.

Man, I really can't wait for this crossover and SUV craze to end. Maybe someday the 99% will go back to liking passenger cars so that catering to the 1% isn't such a chore

Saw a pretty funny article the other day... it suggested that if enthusiasts collectively started calling crossovers "minivans", maybe the 99% would stop liking them so much and spring for something smaller

A man can dream, right?

Sorry, not going to happen.
Crossovers and SUV gets 50-100% better MPG than sedans from a decade or two ago.
PLUS, all that sweet storage space and riding height.

Americans are not getting any thinner either.

I agree except us getting fatter. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like there's been a big push for physical health the last couple years.

I lost 30lbs last year. Finally got back into Mt Biking at 47.
But, a few outliers do not a trend make. Maybe a slow leveling there as we moved into 2010.
Fast search did not show more recent data.

Not everyone likes "Twiggies" anyway. Being slightly heavier is not all bad.

Yeah, that graph definitely doesn't paint a good picture. I'd be real interested though to see post 2010.

And agreed on twiggies!

When you look at most vehicles pre-1950s, They match the modern definition of crossover and SUV. They're going back to form, but now as unibodies and/or IFS/IRS.

The first high volume vehicles were multipurpose. The breakthrough Model T was a pickup, wagon, etc. I think the era of sedans is over, and if something similar comes back it will be to fill the econo-car slot.
