Nobody has kids anymore, yet car companies refuse to make anything without four doors. What gives? How often do they think people have more than one passenger?

because retarded numales buy 4 door sedans when they dont need something that big

Everything, quite literally everything, is a humiliation ritual of pure nonsense and absurdity

>crossovers(nu-minivans) outsell sedans
>no money for vacation
>SUVs (trip vehicles) outsell sedans
>nobody works with their hands
>trucks outsell sedans
>nobody goes out with friends
>4 doors are the only option, no 2 doors
>nobody goes offroad
>offroad appearance packages outsell comfort
>nobody goes to the track
>sport appearance packages outsell comfort
>roads are shit
>nig-rim rubberband tires are the only option
>more and more people moving to southern US
>black vinyl interiors are the only option
>nobody has money
>1k/mo for infinity months is the preferred payment plan
And oooohhhh man it does NOT stop with cars oh no, no, nonono I could go all day, all day about how this is the recurring pattern in quite literally every industry you can think of, from food, to housing, to clothing, to appliances, tech et cetera
I fucking hate this country, I hate this culture, I hate our leaders; both ((())) and otherwise, I hate the engineers, I hate the designers, I hate the thirdie hordes, empty-eyed whores, and bugmen an ocean away buying all of this shit

It seems that people are obsessed with practicality for whatever reason. Four doors in case you have kids someday. An SUV in case you decide to go on a skiing trip in Colorado. A pickup truck in case you have to haul a bag of mulch home from Lowe's. But these things are inherently lame, so everything has to have a "SPORT" "TRAIL LOVER" or "GRAVEDIGGER" package.

Maybe people are more risk-averse than they used to be? Doesn't explain why bigger, fatter vehicles that burn more fuel are popular though.

>What gives?
People don't have money anymore. Sure, every poster on /o/ is a tech bro that pulls in $350k+/year if I'm to believe what I read here, but in the real world the average cost of a new car is $50k, with payments regularly ballooning to $1k+, with 84/90+ month loans being taken out to accomplish this. That tells me that many are living beyond their means rather than within them.
When vehicles are being looked at as an even longer-term purchase than ever before (the average age of a car in the US is over 12 years old, the highest it's ever been), your average shopper is thus going to be looking at a "do everything" vehicle rather than something that may be niche, a lifestyle vehicle, a "personal" car or whatever marketing term they're called in the 2020s. Thus, it pushes people away from coupes, and in lots of cases now, away from the few sedans still offered and into crossovers or SUVs. Will you have kids 5+ years from now? Will you live where it snows or floods? Maybe you'll pick up a new outdoorsy hobby? Probably no to all these things - but look at the marketing for any of these "do everything" vehicles and those are the usually what they'll depict.

Honda is literally about to release a new Prelude anyway, which, although people seethe at it having an NPC-tier hybrid powertrain, is a lot closer to what most actually need out of a commuter. I'd rather see a sea of Prelude-like coupes instead of Rav4s and CR-Vs everywhere, personally. I just know that the people that actually should buy it likely won't for reasons I've already mentioned.

>>28526384
Interesting, I guess that's why I like older cars, back when car companies competed with each other on how cool style, reliable, easy to work on, and capable they can make the vehicle. Now its "which boring appliance do you want to over pay for and throw away".

>>28526359 (OP)
Most people have kids.

>>28526384
>>no families
wrong. the american birth rate is in a net positive. the only ones not having families are whites.
>no money for vacation
wrong. people are vacationing more than ever, especially on the fucking roads. traffic is getting worse not better.
>nobody works with their hands
wrong. blue collar professions are on the rise and there's more and more demand for trade shit.
>nobody goes offroad
wrong, and even if that were true, snow exist and for neighborhoods on hills and off main roads, it might as well be offroad.
>nobody goes to the track
this is becoming true, but sport appearance packages exist BECAUSE people don't want to go to the track.
>roads are shit
not in wealthier communities, and they're the ones primarily steering automakers to rubber band tires because it looks premium.
>more and more people moving to southern US
they're actually migrating to lower cost of living states, many being in the midwest.
>nobody has money
poors don't, but wealthy people do and so does anyone who bought bitcoin when it was at 15k just 4 years ago.

>>28526359 (OP)
Sometime it seems like most people make purchase decisions based on things that might happen once a year, if that.

>>28526359 (OP)
FOUR DOORS MORE WHORES

Trucks and SUVs are just status/lifestyle vehicles. You buy them to signal others that you have money and/or are a tough no nonsense do-it-yourself takes-shit-from-nobody manly man. It doesn't matter if those things are true or not, what matters is making other people believe it.

>>28526384
Utterly bleak truth.

>>28526435
It would financially ruin me but upgrading from my honda motorcycle to a slightly better honda motorcycle would not.

>>28526917
Sneed

Cars are a means of transportation for most people and not a hobby. More space/seats = better. If not, every single car would be a mid engine 1 seater.

>>28526384
Could be worse, like anywhere else. The US still has more options and better opporunities than anywhere else as long as you are not a dumb nigger. Work hard in america and be rewarded, work hard in europe and reward welfare neets.

>>28526359 (OP)
the simple answer is that 95% of people don’t want less. if you make $80k a year, and are going to spend $40k on a new car, theyre going to maximize the amount of utility out of it, whatever vehicle configuration that ends up being. very few people are willing to compromise for something that costs half your salary. companies have come out with various flavors of the penalty box (Mirage, Spark, Smart car, Mini) and they always sell like dogshit in america. why keep trying?

>>28526384
damn that sucks. you should 100% kill yourself since things are so bad.

>>28526359 (OP)
Only super retarded people buy 2-3 door cars. Its really annoying to be even passenger in one of those POS 2-3 door cars because excessive delay on getting in/out of that car. because one of the front seats need be collapsed/moved forward before the rear seat passenger can get in/come come out the car. Its definitely good thing that most of car manufacturers dont build 2-3 door cars with more than 2 seats.

it doesnt matter if people have kids or not. People sometimes do transport multiple adult aged family relatives or friends in the same car.

>>28526359 (OP)
Long doors are annoying. I also throw shit in my back seat instead of the trunk most of the time.

>>28527355
And? Are you always shitting yourself by the time you arrive at your destination that 30 extra seconds to get out are a deal breaker?

>>28527178
>very few people are willing to compromise
Why does everyone drive such ugly, slow, gay, beancounter INSPIRED, old-man-appeasing pikachu MONSTER TRUCK bullshits then?

>>28527513
a truck or SUV allows you to larp as someone richer, more outdoorsy, or hard working than you probably are. trucks are also comfy and have lots of space.

an accountant driving a honda accord is just another guy. the same accountant driving a honda ridgeline now appears more well off, even if the cars cost about the same

most people simply dont care about straight line speed or cornering capability. when most of your driving is on the interstate or on city streets, and when even minivans have 300hp, those things arent as important anymore

>an accountant driving a honda accord is just another guy. the same accountant driving a honda ridgeline now appears more well off, even if the cars cost about the same
Only poor people drive pickups in California lol. At least over here in Mumbai and New Delhi. I know they love the accord, I almost never see ridgelines
>most people simply dont care about straight line speed or cornering capability. when most of your driving is on the interstate or on city streets, and when even minivans have 300hp, those things arent as important anymore
Most people are "normies" in the parlance of our times
My driving is mostly on the highway and city streets, but I still would never get an suv, cuv, or pickup

wrong
there are plenty of coupes in the premium segment, a great 2 series coupe is $45k
there are no budget coupes because people that make money want a premium driving experience, the working class poors want versatility and "car enthusiasts" just buy cheap used shitboxes

Fixed for free shlomo.

What a disgusting goy country. Obsessed with the idea of projecting wealth and status while deeply in debt in a crumbling country.

>>28527172

Yeah that doesn't make me feel any better. Even here there's nothing worthwhile to buy other than antiques (and repair parts for said antiques)
Eurobrothers are so fucked

Long doors have better window viewing, since there's no window frame blocking your view

>zoomie tradies have no money for new truck
>nobody fucking goes offroad
>ok we agree on something
>live in wealthier area, roads are still shit. one of the shittiest roads is in fact the only access for the wealthiest new neighborhood in the area
>nobody is going to the fucking midwest except somalis via plane. all the migration is new yorkers and californians mainly moving to arizona, texas, florida,, and even georgia, with a minor emphasis on idaho and tennessee
>nobody has fucking money. anyone with a 1k loan payment is broke and is one unpaid sick day from defaulting. the wealthy people I know are either leasing (women) or paid full cash (men, one woman)

If the Prelude is tall enough to handle moderate snow I'm here for it, otherwise it's Civic time for me.

2 doors = boy racer = worse insurance rates = nobody buys

>>28527718
I'm not injun (dots nor feathers) at all
lol

mazda miata, ford mustang, mercedes cle, bmw 2 and 4 series, brz/86, supra, audi a some number, are just the ones off the top of my head
>>28529446
>2 doors = boy racer = worse insurance
insurance rates are based on actuarial tables, no particular feature on them matters.
