I agree with you, and in general when you look at 2023 sales numbers for NA, they saw increases for cars and decreases for SUVs. Whether that changes anything remains to be seen.

BMW doesn't make an SUV for me. Perhaps they think, for example, that an X5 is a suitable substitute for a G31/G61, but not with my money. I have an SUV primarily for towing, secondarily for carrying 7-8 people. The X7 does not have adequate towing capability for me. Next summer or fall I will probably be searching for a recent E450 wagon unless some miracle happens and we get the G61.
