Our still-current SUV addiction requires manufacturers to ease buyers into the relatively new segment of high H-point seating vehicles using lighter sedan or minivan platforms. They must include 4+ seating, high ground clearance & optional AWD capabilities. They market them as CUV or SAV so not to have the negative stigma of minivans and current SUVs. They package them in new aero & sleek bodies, have sharper handling but softer sedan rides and could have high-mpg, multi-fuel or hybrid powerplants. Aero or 'Cd awareness' is expected in the new FE exterior designs.
