They killed those cars off because no one was buying them, people don't want a car that will screw you in one way or another, a Crossover have a lot of room, somewhat good mileage, and they're normally 4WD.
Actually a lot of them are RWD. You have to pay more in order to get the more expensive 4WD option. Crossovers are still a bit more thirsty than their owners would want them to be too. Some of them don’t get much more than an SUV. And since most of them have sub-par engines they aren’t as versatile as an SUV.
So, Wagons were RWD, without 4WD, get shit for mileage, and they fell apart, all companies make shit and sometimes make something okay.
Of fucking course they aren't. I only referred to those two because they were the only brands of the vehicles I mentioned that were actually crossovers.
Platform sharing =/= making dozens of exact looking cars These two share one platform as well: They didn't fall apart because they were wagons. Just saying. There was another reason. Which one, I'll leave it for you to find out.
Sharing platforms don't equal they look the same, it's just the common answer There is a lot of reasons, and most of them are caused from the company being cheap.
Most of the ones you posted are rebadges. Again, shared platform =/= rebadge. Rebadge is the same car with different name and a few cosmetic details. Platform-sharing means the underpinnings and drivetrain have the same design.
The main reason for crossovers overtaking minivans and wagons is probably being a middle ground - easier entry and higher seating point than wagons, but more car-like design than minivans.
The Oltcit. I have heard that if you had an head on crash in this car, then the Column steering would stab you. And when you were driving this for too long the engine would blew up. And sorry for the bump.
You just replied to a 4-year-old post. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Nevermind bumping a two year old thread
