Death of Sedans....Suspects Now Known

[travajante]

Bro, we all know that comfort and driving dynamics of CUVs can't be matched by PPVs. But for the people who can only own one car those take a back seat to versatility and utility. That's why PPVs are selling so well. If the car companies could produce similarly sized CUVs that gave the same cargo/passenger capacity, fuel consumption and price and if our road quality improves dramatically I imagine PPV sales will decline naturally in favor of CUVs.

Single car families, I'd agree to practicality taking priority....but for non-haulers, those just occupy way too much precious road footprint.

Survey was done in the US, where we know that lane, intersection and traffic disciplines are generally observed.

Bros- it would be interesting to see the results if there was a similar survey here in the Philippines.

Again,- preference and not limited by budget, if I understand correctly.

Yes bro, was merely replying to trav's post. I only made the assumption based on the feedback I get from car salespeople. That a lot more of their sales would be PPVs instead of sedans if the buyers were more financially capable.

Agree with the large footprint bro. Although the mantra "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" does still apply to the extra interior capacity.

Ahhh, the classic "self over greater good" mantra is what's hurting the nation now, brother. Those who give a damn are a dying breed.[emoji17]

nakakataba kasi mag drive ng super light car trav eh, dapat mabigat dina drive mo para naman ma stretch ng onti katawan. Napansin ko mas madami mataba na sedan and gasoline cuv drivers vs ppv drivers.

Haha. That's an anomaly to the "Limit the space, stunt the growth" aquarium rule.[emoji848]We need more supporting data for a potentially great sales pitch & health advocacy, OB sir....[emoji16]

Agree. Most will opt to buy a CUV/SUV if they can afford it. They are just a lot more practical and versatile for the family guy. For single people or couples who don't plan to have kids sedans make a lot more sense.

This pretty much sums up the argument why buyers opt for SUV/CUV than a sedan.

ako naman as a middle aged single guy i prefer rav4/crv/cx5 type cars coz it's easier to get in and out

noong mas bata ako naka sedan ako at naka lowered pa

di ko na gagawin uli yan

In the Philippines, people prefer CUV/SUV because they have better utility than a sedan. Here in the US, people prefer CUV/SUV because they're easier to get in and out of. So many people getting fat.

marami naka suv ngayon na jinggoy, bong revilla type of body. Tapos yung susi nakasabit sa sintoreras.

Eh ako sedan binata look binata body.

I was pushing to my wife to get a compact sedan for her company car but she opted for a small crossover. She told me she would consider a sedan if it is a midsize (Accord or Camry or Mazda6 or Legacy or Passat).
