I'm not so sure that the market really demands large cars.
If you go to a new car dealer looking for a small car you will find they have some excuse why the only small cars they have are used -- the factory that made them got washed out in a storm or something.
They'll tell you it is no problem because you can get $5000 or more off a huge vehicle.
E.g. it's clear to me that automakers are hell bent on selling big vehicles, not so clear that it is what consumers really want.
