        It’s all related. You can’t add a thousand pounds of safety equipment and larger crumple zones and make a full size sedan that consistently gets 40+ mpg.

        Companies pivoted to the SUV because it didn’t have to have absurdly good fuel efficiency, and people liked being “bigger” despite often having less space than full size sedans.
