    It makes perfect sense when you realize that the comment you replied to was about popular cars, and not good ones.

      No. I replied to the comment insinuating that the ioniq5 sold well because it is a crossover by noting that it was voted to be the best non-tesla EV in North America (for model year 2025). People bought it because it was good, not just because it was a crossover.

        You’re ignoring the fact that the Ioniq 6 did not sell well, despite having even better affordability, and exactly the same “marketing, dealership distribution, etc.”. It is ALSO good (in fact it’s nearly exactly the same thing in sedan form factor) but people are not buying them.

          Remember the list I noted about the best non-tesla EVs. Remember that I started by stating that the BMW was second to the ioniq5? I think the ioniq6 was somewhere on the lists Inwas looking at when shopping for an EV, but it definitely was nowhere near the top. It was getting beat by Polestar.

          You misunderstood my original comment and your are starting to downvote and get bent out of shape about it, so I’m moving on.
