I keep wondering if this is a pendulum thing. Maybe people will realize they actually offroad never, and don't need high ground clearance. Maybe they will get into a sedan and realize they actually like good handling characteristics, and that it's more fun to have a vehicle that handles well.

My Acura TSX feels like a go-kart every time I drive it because I've been habituated to very poorly handling, tall vehicles.

It amazes me when people say the Prius handles poorly. Compared to what, a Civic Si? It handles better than every CUV and SUV.

All that said, I'll never own anything with a trunk again. I've got no use for a trunk, but endless need of a large cargo area accessible in the passenger compartment.
