Websites need to pay their bills too. This results in milquetoast reviews of generic commuter vehicles .

Every time I get one of those in my Facebook feed, I click on it, just to try to keep C&D alive. Consequently,y Facebook feed is now 50% C&D galleries.

They are right. A compact, or subcompact CUV is what most buyers “need”.
What they should buy is a hatchback, but the options in the US are limited plus soooo many people want to sit up high, because of all the tall vehicle on the road, which only makes the problem worse.
The biggest thing is there seems to be a vague social idea that an SUV means success. I’d say 90% of the reason that my wife wants one is that the two CUVs she’s driven, an HRV and gmc Terrain made her feel “grown up” like she’s made it . And I get it. The GLC we rented this year gave me that am feeling Altho that was also the Benz interior as much as the SUV height. That car was a dream on the freeway tho.

What happened? Their old core of editors/authors who used to be genuine car enthusiasts like Brock Yates and genuine automotive engineers like Csaba Csere and Pat Bedard all left/retired. Then it turned into just another me-too pile of garbage staffed by the same come-and-go lightweights (like Dan Pund) who hop from publication to publication and are nothing more than a bunch of entitlement-minded twerps only in it for the press cars and free trips and schwag.

Just so you know, if it is a ‘Sponsored’ post, you are also costing C&D money by clicking. Instead you should just organically go to their website.

I know it’s not really what your point was, but the number of times I’ve nearly pulled my hair out trying to explain to Americans how much more practical a hatchback is compared to a sedan is too high to count.

Oh I understand that fully. And I think it’s part of why so many people love their CUVs. Hatches have a stigma in the US, a stupid one. So people avoid them not realizing how great they are.
CUVs have the opposite effect, instead of being a poor person I. A hatchback, you’d a successful person in a SUV! So they buy the crossover than then realize “wow this hatch on the back and extra cargo room is great!”

I subscribed when that “old core” was around. That’s what I remember. I wish there was still room for that.
