- garciansmith 4y agoMaybe because some people like driving smaller cars, EV or not, regardless of price? Each year there are fewer and fewer options for small vehicles in the U.S. Putting other arguments aside (like small cars being better for the environment, and are less likely to hurt pedestrians in a crash), I hate driving large vehicles due to their sheer size, the lack of visibility of things right next to me, and handling.

- foxyv 4y agoBecause they are going extinct in America. Small cars are no longer being sold by American companies. The Bolt and the Spark were that last ones on the Chevy lineup. The Dodge Challenger is the smallest Dodge car. The Chevy Malibu is the smallest Chevy and it's the last car they are selling so it's probably on the chopping block.
- Kirby64 4y agoBecause the cheaper is coming (or, expected to come), but smaller is largely being pushed by the wayside. Both Ford and GM have discontinued Sedans in the US and their hatchbacks seem to be on borrowed time. Just not even an option; at best, you can get a 'smaller' crossover. It pushes those that actually want sedans or smaller hatchbacks into an increasingly smaller portion of the market, which is in general bad for consumers. More competition is good.
