That's the problem. If you consider vehicle size, manufacturers are making lots of 168-180" long CUV's but nearly no sedans that length. Hell, a stupid Civic is 182" long, same as our fat, huge F30. I think the buying trend is largely due to crappy choices in sedans.
My wife bought a Q5 because residuals on S3's were 13 points lower and it wasn't much longer than the A3 and shorter than the A4. She would have loved the new Q3 because of the smaller size, but it's still a ways off.
She was just commenting that she'd have really loved an M140i five door. In fact we'd have bought that over our three previous BMW's, a 135i coupe, an X1 35i and a 328i. But BMW USA thinks Americans don't buy hatches.
