Yeah it’s not amazing but people are buying trucks and SUVs with much worse MPG for more $$$.

People want the additional capabilities, safety, or even just the status symbol of having a nice truck or expensive car.

Yeah they improved it (double?) because it wasn't selling as it was?

Few were going to sacrifice comfort, room, performance for a tiny car with bad mileage. Just because its manufacture was 'eco-friendly'
