This trend will end as soon as gas prices goes up again. Back when prices were in the $3 to $4 range people were trading in their trucks and SUVs. Price of gas dropped and sales of trucks and SUVs went back up again.

So Cal is already in the 3-4 buck range. Cheaper unleaded I’m finding n my home area is 3:19 a gallon unleaded 3:45 diesel. In LA Santa Monica area 3:75 unleaded 3:95 Diesel
People are still buying V8 trucks and SUVs.

Hard to believe that not too long ago Rolls Royce and MB were duking it out for the market with behemoths like these:

In the first quarter of 2018, Camry BEAT the Rav4 on sales.

As others have said, I will never ever own an SUV. When I travel, I don't even rent them.

I love my new Camry (XLE, V6) with white leather interior and a panoramic roof. The interior is almost silent, and the gas mileage isn't too shabby.

When I slip into the heated seats, I feel like a rock star.

In our part of the country, I go to any parking lot and see that 3/4ths to sometimes all vehicles are 4 door Pickups, SUVs, and Crossovers. All 4 wheel drive or AWD. Sedans have been dying here for years. That is a fact, when you get away from the coasts and out into the real America.

And article after article tell us that the Wealthy are moving to pickup trucks.

Even Rolls Royce understands the trend, and is coming out with a Rolls Royce pickup.

My wife and I have driven SUVs and Pickups since the 70s. Currently we have a Ford F-150 and a Ford Explorer Limited.

The sedans have been getting smaller for years, and the roofs have lowered. Today I can't even sit up in or drive the typical sedan today, they are so low roofed, and small. Long live the Pickups and SUVs as they now rule the auto world in the USA.
The sedan isn't going to die off anytime soon.

What percentage of the US population lives within a hundred miles of a coast anyway...ummm, a HUGE PERCENTAGE.

Well - I own both a mini-SUV, and a Town Sedan - I enjoy driving the Town Sedan quite a bit more...

It's kind of funny how ambiguous "cars" looked back in those days. Sort of like how todays crossovers and CUVS don't quite look like a sedan or a truck per se.

That would be an SUV by today’s standards.
