It's the EPA doin' their thing confusing everybody. In another thread I posted this flowchart the big shots bureaucrats there use to distinguish Car SUV from Truck SUV:    

The issue with this is you guys are looking at current trends, whereas I'm looking at where the industry is going, because it's very important to do so with the industry.    Farley and other leaders have said the sales volume of sedans and hatchbacks played no role in them being discontinued, that in fact, they were extremely popular. The issue was they weren't profitable. They died for a variety of reasons, including unreasonable CAFE standards. But the market conditions that led to the termination of sedans were external, unnatural factors, not a massive drop off in demand for sedans by itself.    With CAFE standards relaxed, and CE1 coming, I see no reason why Ford wouldn't be able to find a way to turn a profit on future affordable sedans and hatchbacks. If Ford can find a way to turn a profit, and as they've stated, there's a lot of natural demand, bringing back sedans and other car forms would make a lot of sense.

Yeah, I thought that was confusing too.

Crap I miss read the rebadge on the wikipage thought it said it was a VW rebadge. 

That chart is confusing-why do they break out Car SUV/Truck SUV like that? If anything (in my mind at least) the vast majority of "SUV" sales are actually car based/unibody platform vehicles vs BOF SUVs. 

The more I think about it, the more it does make sense to do a small van - ESPECIALLY a small commercial/cargo van - as a cab-forward EV. The rear floor can be lower. The nose can be shorter. The cargo area can be larger and more useful. And if they can put it out as a $35k vehicle with 200-ish miles of range with a load, that's a home run for what it's for.   This was my first look at the mentioned VW ID.Buzz at the 2024 Chicago Auto Show. I thought it was a great mix of modern and retro. In the background is the very first Type 1 "Beetle" imported to the US in 1949. Oddly, as chatty as the VW folks were, they really didn't want to talk about the 1940's. 🙃

Nah, sedans, coupes, and hatchbacks (or wagons) aren't making a comeback any more than minivans are.
