Car dealers have to pay upfront for all the cars on their lot. They're not going to stock vehicles that don't sell. So naturally there aren't a lot of small cars on the lots because those cars just sit there losing money and depreciating in value. Same reason it's nearly impossible to find a rear-wheel drive car in areas where it snows regularly. You can go further south and find plenty of RWD cars, but few northern dealerships will stock cars that can't be driven half of the year. CRVs sell in large numbers so dealerships stock them. Fits don't sell in large numbers so dealers don't stock as many. It's not a conspiracy.
