Detroit killed the sedan. We may all live to regret it

The corporations world is forced to consumer the latest product by introducing something new and more expensive and gradually getting rid of the old. How many analog televisions are being used in households across the world currently? Consumers are forced to purchase SUVs on tge assumption that tge vehicles are safer, roomier for the family, and give better view of the roads. Every other person own some type of crossover or SUV. However, the insurance on a 2008 Ford Crown Victoria is still lower than in a 2018 Chevy Equinox, Ford Explorer, and Dodge Durango. Why? The safety standards of these modern dat SUV flooding the market are low. The Ford sedan as well as surpringly a 20 year old Honda Civic are safer to drive due to crash test results. Unfortunately American consumers have very limited choices when purchasing new vehicles which is done by design

I don't believe any of that. Right or wrong, GM, Ford and Stellantis clearly believe they can't sell enough sedans for them to be profitable. I, like others on here, disagree with that decision and believe they should have retained at least one compact or mid-size sedan each but they have chosen to allow that segment of the market to go to Toyota, Honda and Hyundai. It may be more profitable in the short term but also may be difficult to get the customer back if the sedan demand returns. Either way, nobody is forcing consumers to buy suv's and trucks as long as the foreign automakers are providing them.

The reason why consumers are not buying sedans in America because they had been conditioned over the years into thinking that SUVs are better. Mini vans are going tge way of the sedan. Europeans may not be so easily taken in for still still buy sedans and small vans

On case you don't know. Many American consumers chooses to buy American cars because they chooses to support the American auto worker. Also, had you seen the price of a Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, or a Nissan Sentra lately?

Those things you're grasping at to justify your comments are called straws.
