The problem is the SUV craze. Everyone wants a car but they think they want
a truck. So they buy a truck and are dismayed to learn it is a truck and not
a car. Eventually the auto makers caught on and turned all the trucks into
cars that look like trucks. Now, you can't buy a real truck any more but
there are lots of cars available.
