Why does every new car looks like SUV garbage?

Very few people ~~don't~~ buy sedans or hot hatches. We are a vocal minority here on Lemmy. Most people don't care much about driving dynamics, efficiency and other shit that enthusiasts care about. They want more interior space, better 'road presence' (whatever the fuck that means) and higher ground clearance.

An SUV shaped car is box shaped and so it has better headroom, better legroom and looks big with bigger top body and higher ground clearance. People flock to buy it.

It is a shame because SUVs don't come anywhere close to the driving dynamics and fun that sedans or hot hatches bring. To me, a sedan looks far more elegant than SUVs ever can while hot hatches look more sporty than SUVs ever can

Unpainted plastic cladding. If it's painted in gloss black/body color it always ends up looking better. It's a small car otherwise

I meant the shape

I'm not seeing it. Looks like a slightly larger og renault 5. Side by side they're not very different

edit: apart from enormous wheels by 90s standards

we wanted it to be a modern Nissan that is immediately recognisable as a Micra

They failed imo, renault is both better looking and more recognizable as a 5
