I understand and agree in principle with that thought, but the concerns goes more like
"

This isn't about your current 2+2 sporty car or mine, or our next one. Depending on our car buying cycles and unanticipated needs, maybe not even the one after that.
It's probably easier to see the long-term possibilities after you've already been through a similar transition away from what you prefer to a configuration that you personally have a strong dislike for (should be a big enough hint). Experience does take some of the guesswork out of imagination guided by advertising with an agenda.
When the mfr's stated long game is to build only more utilitarian body styles and go big with electric, what does it suggest when they try to attach identity of the name of their current icon (one of their longest running models as well) to the latest people-mover. Sure, the CUV/SUV may well have higher performance than many/most other such vehicles, but it's still a tallish 2-box people-mover.
