Why would I buy a sedan if I can pay the same price for a wagon? A Toyota Corolla Wagon, one you cannot get in the states, has a larger trunk space than the RAV4 whilst costing almost half as much.
The reason people prefer other types kf cars to sedans is that for similar money you can get something that is more practical. Unfortunately, CAFE has perversely incentivised car makers to make those alternatives bigger than sedans. But, unfortunately, even in EU the consumers seem to prefer crossovers, almost to the point where they are getting cheaper than their hatchback/wagon alternatives.
