How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs.

TIL cars like Honda Civic and Toyota Prius stopped existing
Yeah, I did a double-take on the headline and point of the article, seeing the Civic as the first on the list.
I’m not sure I agree with most, but I’m not counting: certainly they have a point.
I live in a part of the US where big cars are less common, but I’m truly amazed at the number of people driving full sized pickups as a regular car. I mean, I also think they would be useful a couple times a year but they look damn inconvenient every other day.
Just yesterday, I was walking around our town center with my kid, and we had a bit of a debate about whether a certain truck was parked on the sidewalk, or if there was a valid parking spot it was too big for and too poorly parked
It's going to be a shock to all the fiat 500, vauxhall corsa and ford Ka owners!
