What cars do Americans drive today?

Americans continue to refuse cars, continuing in November to give preference to crossovers, SUVs and pickups, as automakers are increasingly changing their direction after the preferences of drivers.

According to analyst forecasts from Edmunds and Cox Automotive, automakers sold slightly fewer vehicles in November compared to last year.

Partial reduction may be due to rising interest rates, due to which cars have become more expensive. But most of the fall is due to the fall in popularity of cars.

According to Cox Automotive, sales of compact cars fell by 18,4% in November, while sales of midsize cars fell by 15%.

But sales of compact SUVs and crossovers rose by 11,6%, while sales of middle-class SUVs and crossovers grew by 11,7%.

Last week, General Motors announced that it would stop selling most of its cars in the United States, including the Chevrolet Cruze, Impala and Volt.

Ford Motor also announced earlier this year that it would stop selling most of its cars, including the Fiesta, Fusion and Taurus.

Other automakers still remained loyal to passenger cars, even when they increased the number of their own SUVs, crossovers and pickups.
