    Even sedans have gotten supersized just look a new Accord or Camry vs the older versions. The 3 series is bigger than a e39 5 series the A6 is bigger than the older A8’s.

    I own a stick shift Golf Alltrack and I really don’t know what I’d replace it with if it was wrecked, there’s nothing out there at a price I’d be willing to pay that I like.

      My last car was a Camry, and it was huge compared to what I remember them as (my mom has an 80s one when I was a kid). I’ve downsized to a Corolla (after I destroyed the Camry whoopsie) now tho.

      And I have no idea what those alphabet/number soup cars even are. If they can’t get a real name thae they can go extinct. I’m not learning what an e45 is, or a ZQ73 is.

      But yeah they have gotten more unwieldy, and that shit needs to stop.

      But what I meant to say got lost in my other point, which was my opinion that even given the most safe shape and sizes possible, I think everything but sedans are ugly, just aesthetically speaking. I understand the practical reasons, but they’re all ugly.

        SUVs are not practical. Hatchbacks or wagon sedans are practical.

        SUVs are just big to give the impression of value and to sell to an increasingly obese demographic.

          The hatchback is for sure. If I could have the hatchback that just visually appears to be a sedan, that’d be peak. It’s more practical than a sedan really, but still loses in the looks department.
