Although crossovers are mentioned what’s not called out is the platform sharing between crossovers and sedans. The platform will be built for the high volume crossover and the sedan adapted to it. I also don’t understand how the crosstrek gets to be a light truck since it doesn’t meet the first requirements of open bed/3 rows/10 pass. Maybe in this sentence the author meant “may instead” instead of “must also”? > Perhaps most crucially, however, light trucks must also meet a set of measured requirements that deem them capable of "off-highway operation." Finally, I’d really like a full-size sedan but there’s a lack of options in the market right now. This used to be something that dominated sales. The Civic is “growing” but it is still 20 inches shorter than an 80s Olds 88? Even the extra long Audi a8 is five inches shorter. Stretching a car in the middle should do little to harm the fuel economy, all the heavy parts are already dealt with, but it appears that available car lengths are being squeezed at both ends. The subcompacts are vanishing but so are the full size models.
