I've been planning to go down to the basement where the car lives to check, but haven't been that way yet. I'll let you know. I guess it's possible that I just assumed the back would be like the front because why the fuck wouldn't it be. But then again, Elon.

I'm just repeating what I'm told unfortunately.

And yeah, my next car I want to be an EV. An EV jimny would be perfect, but I doubt they'd ever exist

Wow you are absolutely right, no emergency release in the back. I had to actually go touch it.

I apologize for my ignorance, thank you for forcing me to know, I will figure out how to add these release handles.

Still the best car I have ever driven. Fucking Nazi ruins everything.

Also

The last 5-10 years have been primarily reacting to buyers (and choosing not to market sedans more) but there was a specific concerted push to change market opinions toward SUVs and SUV-like vehicles, so I'm inclined to instead blame marketing with a healthy sprinkling of availability.

The last time I bought a sedan I really had to go out of my way to find the only one on the lot that happened to be in my budget and in my desired age/mileage/mechanical shape, and I happened to test drive all 5 sedans that they had on that lot. If I were indifferent towards the body/chasis style I probably never would've looked at the sedans just by pure math of there being easily a hundred or more SUVs, a smattering of trucks and vans and that was about it
