That's much more an option than a segment, and many other manufacturers have served both needs with a single model (e.g. Nissan). I think JLG's point is that many potential 3 buyers may well prefer the higher styling of the Y, and the data in the marketplace is definitely demonstrating that SUV-type models are incredibly popular. Clearly people who need 7 seats will wait for the Y. Are people thinking about a 3 going to be put off by 7 seats? Probably not in massive numbers.
