Sedans? If you believe everything you hear these days, you"d think that the US had abandoned them completely. SUVs, crossovers and trucks, that"s what America wants. Not four door, three-box passenger cars. And, in this Trump reign of extra tax threats on foreign goods, surely European and Asian-produced sedans are faring even worse? Who wants a supposedly unwanted stepchild of the auto industry with a higher than average price tag? Answer around a million people a year. Yes, of course there"s a huge move to SUVs and the like, as those make up a huge majority of the 17 million vehicles sold in the US each year. But still close to four million people a year in the US buy a sedan, and a quarter of those choose luxury models.
