r/Cars - For Car Enthusiasts

I'm observing that the variety of small cars is getting lower and lower, but I just don't get why. In my opinion, small cars should be very important these days.

1. Smaller cars need less material and less-powerful engine, which make them perfect for less wealthy people who still need them. In times of crisises and raising low-income households, this sound pretty relevant.

2. These days climate change is getting is becoming a more and more important topic. Small cars are no electric cars, but thanks to their lower weight and less-powerful engines, their fuel consumption and emissions are lower . Yet, powerful SUVs are more popular than ever, whereever you look.

The Volkswagen boss is talking about not selling the super popular Polo anymore. I don't understand this world.
