> I dunno, “the market is going SUV and not looking back” makes me think they are once again being short-sighted. If nothing else, it means we won’t be getting much in the way of innovation from the U. S. makers.

I suspect this time its more of a "Young people aren't buying cars, so extract more money out of the older folks for a bit until we hit the wall."

Ridesharing has taken a big toll on all the car manufacturers.

I wouldn't say ridesharing. Young people are broke and they aren't going to buy new cars when a car payment is the equivalent of their student loans

Between younger folks and older folks are new parents.

They tend to buy SUVs.
