roughly 80% are trucks and suvs

https://jalopnik.com/trucks-and-suvs-are-now-over-80-percent...

60% suvs 20% pickups 20% cars

suvs are the biggest culprit, they’ve eaten the entire car market - some manufacturers only manufacture 1 or 2 models of cars at all now

some people like to hand wave crossovers away, but they’re bigger, heavier, and less efficient than most sedans that they replaced from 10 years ago
