Yup "Sales prospects for the Gran Tourer are uncertain. Demand for small minivans is shrinking in Europe -- the main market -- as buyers looking for space opt for sport-utility vehicles which project “a bit of roughness and toughness,” according to IHS’s Urquhart.
The research company is forecasting that the European compact-minivan market will fall 15 percent from last year to about 766,000 vehicles in 2020. In contrast, compact-SUV sales are set to gain by almost one-third to 2.06 million autos."
