American* consumer. Around the world most popular models are smaller than the American ones. And those expectations are driven by marketing from those car companies to circumvent the safety/emission laws set up for cars in the us
It’s also gotten surprisingly difficult to find a used car at a reasonable price (even via craigslist). Sedans “aren’t popular anymore” because they’re not advertised, but they’re ubiquitous. It’s just the lumbering giants that run like shit are also ubiquitous and makes being on the road fucking dangerous in a sedan because of poor sightlines and idiotic curb weights.
Which is apparently what the average consider wants or at least expects.

I agree with you, but this happens in Europe as well.
Tying acceptable emissions to the car weight made SUVs very attractive for the car makers. And people lap it up like noone’s business.
And the sales are driven by, what one can only assume is, a vastly disproportionate percentage of tiny, tiny penises amongst the American population
