The ingress and egress of CUVs and SUVs is important because Americans are incredibly fat.

Yeah, but you basically have to lift them an inch or two and market them as a CUV if you want to be able to sell a small wagon.
Boomer here. I love station wagons. They’re great for long trips, carrying stuff and they handle well. All cars purchased so far were hatchbacks save the pickup truck as they have a liftgate like a station wagon, particularly my ‘88 VW Fox Wagon. Balked at the CTS-V wagon due to price. Maybe that’s because of the…
Thing is, compact wagons have about as much room as compact CUVs - sometimes MORE room - while getting better mileage.
Can confirm, I’m 20 and I grew up in the back of a crossover. I hate them with a burning passion. Wagons are the patrician’s choice.
I had 2 friends last year excitedly call me about their new Jeeps.

Looks like USA is a very unique market in that regard, but they’re just one oil crisis away from a small car “comeback”

Yes. Full stop.
This is NP. I base that on a quick search of ebay sold allantes with similar mileage. Sure it’s not my cup of tea but it is someone’s and this is a fair price for a V8 convertible caddy. Give it some love and sparing Sunday drives, in 2 years time you can throw some antique plates on it (25 years in most states) and…
2nd:
Cars.com’s list is still unadulterated BS.
They put an arbitrary cutoff of 75% domestic content and then rerank based on sales numbers - they don’t give ANY consideration to white collar jobs supported, either.
This year, the Enclave, Traverse, and Acadia finished 1-2-3 in terms of % domestic content. Cars.com…
