Fucking finally.

Now make cars look like cars again. Last 30 years has been a parade of Jellybeans and Electric Shavers.

What I care more about is making cars... cars. Visit a dealership in the US and it's 98% SUV/Truck and 2% sedans.

Most "SUVs" are actually crossovers. Which are just hatchbacks, wagons, and non-sliding door minivans. Take an Impreza hatchback and lift it 3 inches, and suddenly it's an "SUV."

But yeah, sedans w/trunks are becoming a bit of a rarity.

Yeah, Subaru is getting rid of the Legacy sedan in 2025 and keeping the Impreza hatchback because the Impreza shares parts with their larger SUVs. The Legacy doesn't, so it makes them more money to get rid of the car.
