    In a world of fuel efficiency (and range) being a prime seller … I cannot fathom why low profile saloons (and estates) are not more of a thing. Surely a lighter bodied lower profile vehicle has less drag and therefore better range and efficiency. Surely.

    We’re just marketed and, more importantly people are still buying, these bloody great big heavy SUVs with bugger all space inside.

      People who buy brand new cars tend to be older and probably are anticipating getting back or other mobility issues before they eventually sell the car. I think that could be a contributing factor.
