I think you misunderstood me to think I want a crossover. I do not. The definition of a crossover is that it's a unibody chassis like a car, with car-like suspension and drivetrain, but shaped like an SUV with a similar ride height. An SUV is a truck that has an extended enclosed passenger cabin with fold-down seats.

A crossover is effectively trying to replace the minivan segment, because it can't actually do any of the things an SUV can do effectively, like towing. Minivans are actually better than crossovers in pretty much every way that matters, except for their CAFE classification.

My perfect vehicle would be a small AWD electric hatchback w/ sport suspension. A compact AWD electric sedan w/ sport suspension would be a close second. A bloated POS with a high center of gravity is pretty much everything that I loathe in the world.
