Everyone wants a grey crossover or pickup. I don't have the statistics on hand, but it seems econocars are a dying breed. This includes the younger generation. There's a university here in town and although a few will drive econo cars the majority will say they want an AWD crossover or pickup and won't consider anything else. The same goes for used car buyers. You see ads all the time in the paper: "In search of car. Must be AWD and have high ground clearance."
I just towed a piano on a trailer with the Avalon for a freshman kid from the university that had a brand new RAV4. He boasted about all the things he can do with his RAV4 and showed up thinking he could just shove the piano in it. The piano is a 5 ft upright. There was no way he was going to get the piano in there. But even when we left he said he still wasn't sure it wouldn't fit since we hadn't let him try.
