What do you think of automakers discontinuing cars, to focus on trucks/suv's?
Do you think it's a good business decision? It's mainly Ford and GM, by the way.

Automakers like to sell SUVs and trucks because they get more profits from them than sedans. But, unless you have several people to transport or need to move cargo, a sedan is much more practical, gets much better mileage. Most people commute to work alone. A sedan is much more efficient and comfortable for that.

@badminton Trucks/SUV's/CUV's do seem to hold their value a lot better than sedans though, and don't depreciate as much in their first year of ownership.

@badminton Driving to work is only one use of a vehicle .. and suvs only sit another passenger or so over same size class range of sedan. Some people work from home and or take public transit so they buy what they like or need for other purposes. Few cars can pull a trailer or boat or haul much in way of materials for projects, etc.
