Bring back the hatchbacks. People want the utility of a CUV/SUV. Not the mileage or sheer size. It's purely the screwed up CAFE standards pushing everything to get bigger. If we actually just taxed by the pound then vehicles would suddenly go back to normal size with normal approaches to cargo storage.
I've driven smaller hatchbacks pretty much my.entire life, and agree completely. I have no issue hauling 4-5 adults + whatever stuff they happen to have in the trunk. Fully agree, hatchbacks are the way to go.
