Yeah there’s a slimming number of sedans and even fewer wagons. And large screens are part and parcel. A lot of it comes down to the requirements for backup cameras (and the trend of more cameras for parking, blind spot awareness/visibility, collision avoidance, etc being tied into that). And a nice crisp infotainment system looks impressive, especially when you’re coming from an older car.
I wouldn’t mind a hatchback wagon. But most of them are jacked up now and marketed as crossovers. I don’t want my second car to be giant. We only need one car to haul the family and all our stuff. Our “second” car should be suitable for 1-2 passengers regularly (occasionally the whole family) with one of them likely being a kid.
As someone who doesn’t want a crossover/SUV or a tablet on my dash my options are extremely limited.
