Well, there is no way that a larger %age of our population needs 4wd or the extra cargo/passenger space of an SUV. I know I pissed people off when I called it lifestyle signaling the other day, but that seems to be the only explanation.The whole idea that people are moving away from cars and into trucks and SUVs is perplexing to me. It seems to fly in the face of the move towards better gas mileage and less pollution.
I dont know, but how do you get into a car? And how do you get into a truck/SUV?? Now think about the demographics of our population.Well, there is no way that a larger %age of our population needs 4wd or the extra cargo/passenger space of an SUV.

Toyota Chief Says Car Sales are Close to Bottoming Out
Toyota's car sales are down nearly 12 percent through October.
AUTHORS Tom Krisher
DETROIT (AP) — Toyota's top U.S. executive says car sales nationwide have nearly bottomed out and his company will keep making them despite a dramatic shift to trucks and SUVs.
U.S. CEO Jim Lentz told the Detroit Economic Club Wednesday that car sales fell below 30 percent of sales last month, and he thinks that's close to the bottom.
While Fiat Chrysler, Ford and General Motors are canceling many car models, Lentz doesn't see that happening with Toyota. Consumers are still buying more than 4 million compact, midsize and near-luxury cars each year, he said. "There's no way I'm going to walk away from that," Lentz said. "We are always going to have a bias toward passenger cars."
Nationwide, passenger car sales are on pace to be 800,000 vehicles below 2017, while truck and SUV sales should increase by the same amount. Low fuel prices, ease of entry and exit, and ample storage space have fueled an SUV sales boom that has accelerated during the past two years.
Toyota's car sales are down nearly 12 percent through October while truck and SUV sales are up 8 percent.
Lentz said that U.S. car sales this year probably will fall below what they were in 2010 during the financial crisis. "There is a depression on the passenger car side," he said.
Still, Toyota will stay in the market with its midsize Camry, a new compact Corolla and other models. It even plans to add a model next year when it revives the Supra sports car, he said.
Toyota made the high-performance Supra from 1978 to 2002, according to its website. The company plans to unveil the new Supra next month at the North American International Auto show in Detroit.
I own a Lincoln MKZ hybrid that gets 40 mpg. Not a lot of storage space because the battery takes up space and not overly powerful (which I don't care but some people might). Otherwise a great car. I'm surprised by the push to all electric when hybrid technology is proven.I purchased a Toyota Avalon Hybrid 6 months ago at 22% off of MSRP. That included a $5,000 rebate. 38 mpg combined.
Best car I have ever owned.No one is buying sedans.
So how long is a generation of engines?Meh they’re just saying the last generation of engines will be rolled out in 2026. That’s two generations away for most of the lineup.

I dont know, but how do you get into a car? And how do you get into a truck/SUV?? Now think about the demographics of our population.
Hints ( you step down to get into a car, and step up to get into a truck/SUV and we have an aging population)
I don't want to drive with my knees hitting the dash.
Im starting to think that once I’m actually able to afford even a used Porsche 911, internal combustion engines won’t be legal anymore.Varies but the ea888 in my car has been in various cars since 2012 or 2013 and is in everything from jettas and golfs costing less than 20k to Audi a5s and Porsche macans that cost more than 50. You’ll probably still see it in 2025 model year cars so an engine released in 2026 could still be viable til 2040. I don’t necessarily believe they’ll stick to this timeline anyway. It’s a good headline now but meaningless. Vw owns porsche and Porsche prints money. Porsche isn’t going to cease engine development in 8 years. Ditto for Lamborghini.

996 911s are very affordable. Just need to make sure the ims bearing has been replaced or budget having it done in the price.

Hell, its smarter than you, too.That smallblock Chevy V8 in your Tahoe is older than I am
Gotta be a contortionist to get in some newer cars.I dont know, but how do you get into a car? And how do you get into a truck/SUV?? Now think about the demographics of our population.

Two questions my man:
1) Is that thing AWD?
2) Are those winter tires? You will need those since it it December! BBWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
So how long is a generation of engines?
That's not an engine. It's an embarrassment.Well, GM’s “legendary” (and wheezy) Iron Duke 4cyl was (unapologetically) produced from the mid seventies into the mid nineties ...
